Taken from a piece over on ESB...

Dean ‘Irish Lightning’ Byrne versus Jay ‘IOW Assassin’ Morris, for the International Masters Welterweight title, heads up the upcoming Dave Murphy promoted ‘Thunder & Lightning’ event, which takes place at York Hall in London on Saturday 27th April 2013.



On paper globe trotting Irishman Byrne has to be the bookies favourite, especially following his sensational performance against former USBA Welterweight Champion Carson Jones back in December – where he was mightily unlucky to receive ‘a draw’ and not the clear win that most pundits thought he thoroughly deserved.

Saying that though, former British Masters Light Welterweight Champion Morris is no walk over. The fifty two fight veteran from the Isle Of Wight is as tough as they come.

One thing for sure is this will be a classic boxer versus puncher encounter, with Byrne utilizing his classy boxing skills to maximum effect to keep the ‘Isle of Wight Assassin’ on the outside, whilst Morris will be eager to close down Byrne, get inside and pound the body of the slick Irishman.

In keeping with the international theme of the event, main support for Byrne versus Morris sees Lithuanian knockout artist Virgilijus Stapulionis returning to the UK to once again thrill the fans – Don’t blink though, as in his previous two visits to the Capital the big punching Middleweight dispatched his opponents within one round.

Peckham’s Diego Burton makes a welcome return to York Hall, where he has previously won twice, as well as scored a credible draw on his debut.

TRAD TKO’s very own Marianne Marston makes her well overdue debut, against Latvia’s Aleksandra Jasjukevica.

Marston, the protégé of legendary Heavyweight Champion of the World Smokin’ Joe Frazier and two time Cruiserweight Champion of the World Steve ‘USS’ Cunningham, is a big punching Southpaw that learned her craft in the fighting City of Philadelphia, USA – ‘nuff said!

Bermondsey based Nigerian battler Ideh Ockuko will be looking to get back to winning ways.

Ockuko’s last fight, against unbeaten prospect Adam Dingsdale, was a fantastic barnstormer that could have gone either way, in the end though the decision went to Dingsdale by a very close 38-39 points margin.

Chris Rackley will be making his third professional outing. The 21 year old Welterweight from Slough in Berkshire will be keen to impress when he returns to York Hall, the scene of his hard fought draw against the highly experienced Liam Griffiths back in February.

Another youngster, 22 year old Scrappa Smith from West Drayton, makes his first visit to York Hall and will also be looking to build on his two great wins to date.

Local boy, Francis Maina from Limehouse, will be looking to get back to winning ways, having lost his last three outings – all away from home fights and against unbeaten prospects.

Last but not least Wokingham’s Mark Douglas makes his long awaited return to the ring, following a long, forced, sabbatical after he dislocated his shoulder whilst battling with Lee Purdy for the Southern Area strap back in 2009.

are BoxRec sure they got the right promoter listed because I know Dave Murphy and he hasnt said anything about this to me.

[slapbangwhallop]

Iain Weaver will make his debut on this bill as well!

[sucracristo]

for the International Masters Welterweight title

what's a masters title?

[TerribleTerry]

Iain Weaver will make his debut on this bill as well!

Was looking forward to him going pro - presumably he has gone this route because the board still won't licence him?

[Looking On]

Ok so hows this work ?

If its unsanctioned isnt it then an unlicensed show ?

and if so then whys it even on the boxrec schedule ?

because it is sanctioned and BoxRec are just f***** about again like they did with the Haye bill.

[turbostar]

So it looks like the entire show is unsanctioned because Iain Weaver is on it who the BBBofC refuse to license.

Although when we say "unsanctioned" that's not strictly true, it just means it's being sanctioned by a foreign board, I don't know whether it's Luxembourg, Spain or another EU country sanctioning this but because it's on UK soil and not BBBofC licensed it's therefore unsanctioned as per Boxrec editorial policy.

[slapbangwhallop]

Funny that BoxRec have LuxBox down as the promoter and the fight down as sanctioned for the Haye-Chisora bout. Hypocrisy?

A stupid decision by BoxRec to make this illogical stance, same irrational flawed thought process that lead to Weaver being turned down by BBBoC.

Pretty sure there is a lot of unsanctioned shows on boxrec, notably Andreas Sidon's fight from the weekend.

Time board were replaced hopeless out of date organisation. Too many compromised people involved!

It's Luxembourg.

[Tarquin Tarpaulin IV]

European law allows regulatory bodies such as Luxembourg to trade anywhere in th EU.

I understand their action against the BBB of C following the Haye-Chisora show is still ongoing.

[iamasadlittleboy]

...I worry we are 1.step away from some one like Danny Williams being allowed to fight over.here again =/

That was showing on Boxrec at the same venue as the show below it which was registered & ironically the show below was promoted by Andreas Sidon!

[ronster]

good luck ian

[Jack B]

What's the Lux board's situation with the EBU? Didn't they get expelled immediately after sanctioning Haye-Chisora? Maybe that's why BoxRec are saying it's unsanctioned now?

It all seems like one massive grey area to me.

The more I see and hear, the more I'm starting to warm to this point of view.

There are lots of people who give their time for nothing who are definitely not compromised mate i.e Inspectors running about for expenses and Area Council Members who give up their Sundays and other days free of Charge so who are these compromised people you are talking about coz they are definitely not in the Midlands that I can guarantee

I think leforge may be reffering to the main Board in Cardiff.
