Rugged British Light Middle Champion Jamie Moore is set to defend his title against Matthew Macklin on 29 September at the GH Carnell Centre in Manchester, England on a Maloney Promotions bill. The Salford, England native spoke to SaddoBoxing on many subjects in this exclusive, can’t miss interview. SaddoBoxing: First off, I hear you’re the first Salford boy to win the Lonsdale belt in over 100 years. That’s quite an achievement, you must be a bit of a hero back home?
Jamie Moore: “Yeah, everyone seems to know me here, I’m like a local sort of hero and it’s good to know…. A lot of the older guys from Salford are all big boxing fans and they’ve all said to me that they never thought they’d see anyone from Salford win the Lonsdale belt. So I’m glad really that I never knew about that fact before the fight, Steve Foster was the last person from Salford to fight for the British title, but he lost. He got straight in the ring after the fight and told me, (that Moore had won the Lonsdale belt) as he didn’t tell me before hand and I’m glad in a way.” (more…)

British Boxing: Shock WBO Title Shot For Mark Hobson!
After a hectic schedule already this year, with two world title fights, Huddersfield, England cruiserweight Mark Hobson has stepped in as a sub again to face Enzo Maccarinelli at the MEN Arena in Manchester.
With longtime WBO Champion Johnny Nelson withdrawing from the second fight on October 14 with a back injury, which saw replacement opponent Hobson push Maccarinelli to the wire last time out, Hobson will now challenge for the WBO belt, and thinks he can go one better
than his last bout against the Welshman.“This is the kind of fight that is going to really give British Boxing a shock to the system,” said Hobson, “because everyone knows that Maccarinelli comes to fight. I always come to fight, and it’s got all the makings of a cracker. (more…)
