Ben Murphy has drawn WBU/WBF Featherweight Champion Choi Tseveenpurev in the first round of the Matchroom Sports Prizefighter – Super Featherweights which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 20th November.
Following a training session, at the Ultrachem TKO Gym in Canning Town, Ben simply stated, “Well, he’s strong, but I’m gonna be stronger than him”.
Whilst Ben stayed true to form with a short sharp statement, his manager/trainer Brian Lawrence gave a more in depth view of his charge and the fight with Choi by saying, “We’ve got Choi in the first fight and it’s really like bringing the pigeon to the cat.
You know I just feel Ben will be too strong, too aggressive. I mean everything that Choi’s got Ben’s got in abundance.
Choi’s a Featherweight and Ben’s a Lightweight, that’s gonna tell in the fight. You know, Choi might not get past the first couple of rounds. You’ve got to remember Ben hits like a Middleweight.”
Prizefighter – The Super Featherweights will be at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Saturday 20th November 2010 and broadcast live on Skysports.
Tickets: Ringside (£60) and unreserved (£35) available on-line at www.tkoboxoffice.com, call 07960 850645 or in person at the Ultrachem TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town.
