Danie Venter v tba Commonwealth Cruiser title

[funso banjo baby]

this is booked out soon but who is Venter fighting.

I don't understand the commonwealth set up but it says somewhere that Ovil Mackenzie might be fighting.

that's quite good

Ovil is a light heavy and he's defending his Commonwealth title against Enzo on the Cleverly Kovalev bill in August

Last Commonwealth Cruiserweight champ i remember was Rob Norton about 3 years ago,ive heard nothing of it since really apart from reading about something a few month back in BM about some Aussie defending it,as far as i was aware it was still vacant

[keithmoonhangover]

One last roll of the dice for Dave Dolan?

[Bleak]

Danny Price still about?

was he not the number 1 am around the same time bellew was at his weight ?

The last fight involved Shane Cameron who stopped Dominic Vea inside 12 rounds - glad a South African is getting a shot at the vacant title.

I've seen Venter fight a few times, and while he's a couple of steps below world class - mainly due to his suspect chin - I wouldn't give any British CW bar possibly Dickinson a real shot at beating him. Someone like Dolan only has a puncher's chance really.

From what I can see, Venters problem is that he's flitted and meandered between heavyweight and cruiserweight.

He's got decent skills, but needs to stick to cruiserweight and work hard on his conditioning, IMHO.

Shawn Cox perhaps?

stephen simmons

I thought that lad from Blackpool was a good hitter and a strong fellow

That's him, cheers I've seen him box and he can fight, he ought to be in with a shout.

It looks like Shawn Cox.

This article bills it as the WBF Cruiserweight title, whilst the second article below, the thread, and Boxrec says it is about the Commonwealth Cruiserweight title...

This article says it's for the Commonwealth belt...

Top Barbadian boxer Shawn Terry Cox is eyeing success in his Commonwealth Cruiserweight Championship bout against Danie Venter in South Africa next month.

Cox, Barbados’ leading boxer over the past few years, said he was keen on winning the contest.

“I am looking to bring home the belt. I am going to South Africa for two reasons: revenge and that Commonwealth belt,” he said
