  • Boxing Info: Stevie McGuire – Brian Magee

    Stevie McGuire believes Brian Magee is ready for the taking in Saturday’s Vacant British Super-Middleweight Title showdown at the Brentwood Centre.

    McGuire (Glenrothes, Scotland) might be the underdog for the fight against Magee (Belfast, Northern Ireland) but he is not lacking confidence after a two-week training camp in Cyprus to get ready for the biggest fight of his life.

    Magee will be trying to become British champion at the third attempt after being stopped for the same belt by new WBC super-middleweight champion Carl Froch in 2006 and then held to a controversial draw with Tony Oakey for the British light-heavyweight belt last year.

    But McGuire is confident of improving his 15-fight unbeaten record on the Hennessy Sports show that will be shown live on ITV4 from 8.40pm. (more…)

    First Team’s PJ Rowson and Errol Johnson put on another entertaining afternoon of boxing on Sunday when they hosted a full card of eight contests, billed as “Crunch-time at Lunch-time”, which included two title bouts at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton, England.

    Dean “Deano” Harrison of Wolverhampton faced Chris Long of Calne, Wiltshire, for the vacant British Masters Welterweight title. A win could ensure a re-match with Scott Haywood, the Derby Boxer who narrowly out pointed Harrison for the English Light Welterweight title in September. Long fought Harrison’s stablemate Steve Saville last time out, losing on points to the Bomber.

    Harrison used straight lefts to head and left hooks to the body of Long and although Long put up a good effort against the Wolverhampton man, he was forced to retire at the end of the eighth round with a shoulder injury.

    Harrison wins the title and his record now stands at 13-1 (4). (more…)
