Kid Galahad vs. Brayan Mairena - 8 December 2018

[Ruthless-RKO]

Kid Galahad has had his next opponent confirmed.

The Sheffield featherweight is the mandatory challenger to Josh Warrington’s IBF world title.

The man who beat Toka Khan-Clary in a final eliminator at the TD Garden Arena in Boston back in October will box at the FlyDSA Arena in Sheffield, exclusively live on Sky Sports, as part of the supporting cast of Kell Brook’s official WBA super-welterweight title eliminator against Michael Zerafa.

Galahad will take on Nicaragua’s Brayan Mairena in a six- or eight-round contest on a card that features Liverpool’s Anthony Fowler in title action.

Jono Carroll will take on Guillaume Frenois in an official final eliminator for Tevin Farmer’s IBF super-featherweight world title and there is action for Stefy Bull-managed duo Terri Harper and Anthony Tomlinson.

Yeh. Just keeping busy really.

These fights always get slated.

I think it’s very wise to stay active with fights like these when you know you may have to wait for a mandatory shot.

Kell Brook got slagged off for rematching Carson Jones in the run up to the Shawn Porter fight. In the end he beat Porter by a very slim margin. What’s not to say that he’d have been 3-5% worse without that run out where he had to have a camp etc, compared to going into the fight after a 5 month layoff.

lolz his whole career is worthy of slating, about 10 years pro and what are his biggest fights? is his biggest the one vs jam dickens? just totally boring and a career of 'onto big stuff now'. staying busy or not, useful or not, wake me up when that big exciting title fight finally comes

His biggest fight/win was his last one which shows he's going in the right direction.........

Unbeaten British, Commonwealth and European champion who just became the mandatory for the world title by beating his opponent in his backyard in the USA.

I think what the guy above is failing to see was it's taken Barry this long to fight someone like Toka Clary, who isn't really world level is he..

He'll end up like a Brook: What could have been?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Just a 'keep busy' fight here for Barry. Fully expect him to come out and win..

I wonder when IBF will order Warrington/Frampton to defend against Barry. Even if it's late next year.. Barry should keep well busy. Plenty of room for learning for him. Needs rounds.. Warrington/Frampton are are very good boxers and can easily dominate a 12 round fight.

Barry would need to be well prepared.
