Ovill McKenzie

[Taansend]

Anyone have any news on him? Is he getting a rematch with Ramirez, and if so, where?

Would be brilliant if he got another chance & pulled it off.

At cruiserweight, number one contender Dmytro Kucher will face recent world title challenger Ovill McKenzie for the vacant cruiserweight title following highly-ranked Tony Bellew’s decision to relinquish the blue belt.

Bellew won the strap by defeating Mateusz Masternak in London on December 12 but opted against a first defence against Kucher as a recognised title opportunity looms on the horizon. That leaves Kucher, and now McKenzie, to fight it out to become the new Continental champion.

Purse bids have been set for February 1.

It looks like Dmytro Kucher for the European title.

Shame he isn't getting the rematch, Kucher lost a close one to makubu then? should be a decent fight going off of that, has anybody seen much of him?

Purse bids have been put back to 10th February now, possibly still trying to come to a deal.

Thanks 'orse & others.

I love it when fighters come good after a poor start. I was a huge fan of Dennis Andries back in the day & then Steve Robinson after him.

I remember when Andries lost the rubber match to Harding & he was at a Duke McKenzie bout the next day, mixing with the fans. Top bloke.

The 1970s bought up west indians like andries,honeyghan,carl thompson, benn and eubanks,mccallum, were a very very tough breed

I agree - I loved watching Andries fight, and was gutted when he lost the third Harding bout. Remember listening to Andries v Hearns on BBC radio (I forget which station as I think it was well before Five Live days) and being amazed how Andries kept getting up and even (unofficially) floored Hearns. And all power to Ovill too - hope he pulls it off and gets another world title shot.

Yeah I remember listening to all the fights live on the radio in those days. The 2nd Andries V Harding fight sounded like a script from Rocky. Radio boxing always sounds exciting.

I remember watching that fight. I think it was on BBC on a Saturday afternoon about a week after it happened. I was at the pub & when I went outside afterwards it had snowed.

That it my memory. It is now our memory.
