Terry Flanagan vs. Michael Ansah - 11 October 2019

[Ruthless-RKO]

Former world champion Terry Flanagan will be back in action when he competes on the huge #MTKFightNight event at the iconic Ulster Hall in Belfast on October 11.

Flanagan (34-2, 14 KOs) returns live on ESPN+ in association with Top Rank and also live on iFL TV, fresh off the back of his impressive stoppage win over Jonas Segu in July.

The Manchester star is excited to be part of a massive event in Northern Ireland, and plans on rewarding the fans with a performance to remember.

Flanagan said: “I’m delighted to be back in action again. Fighting in Belfast is something I’ve always wanted to do in my career and I can’t wait to compete at the iconic Ulster Hall.

“I was pleased with the win in my last fight and now it’s about building on that momentum as I work towards getting back in the mix at world level at lightweight.

“We saw over the weekend just how exciting the lightweight division is, and I’m looking to produce another major performance on October 11 that reminds everyone just what I’m capable of.”

'Turbo' stopped Tanzanian Jonas Segu in the fifth round in an impressive return to lightweight after coming up short in the World Boxing Super Series last year.

Joining Flanagan on a special night in Belfast is a fantastic flyweight battle between Jay Harris and Paddy Barnes, Sean McComb taking on Emiliano Dominguez, while IBF European champion Marco McCullough defends against Viorel Simion.

A busy undercard includes Lewis Crocker, Gary Cully, Conrad Cummings, Callum Bradley, Sean Duffy, Pierce O’Leary and Ruari Dalton.

So clearly Flanagan is no longer with FW.

After he lost to Hooker, he joined the WBSS.. But has only appeared on MTK shows since.

Who will even bother signing him now?

Is he just gonna finish his career without a promoter? no big fight? Just appearing on MTK shows?

He wasn't a huge ticket seller, even in Manchester TBH.

I remember there was talks of him fighting Crolla when they both had world titles.

Crolla said he wants to end his career in Manchester.. Why not create some fake Manc beef from one end and have these 2 fight each other at Manchester Arena later this year or early next year.

They were not my comments, but what was vindictive about them? Seemed all pretty much a fair summary of the situation.

Statements of facts - not seemingly with FW, on MTK shows, lost in WBSS to Hooker, did not sell many tickets, was talk of fighting Crolla. Then a suggestion of giving it a punt on a big show against Crolla. What did you read as it must have been something I didn't

[Ruthless-RKO]

What's with the vindictive comments ?

I'm not a hater. He's from my neck of the woods. It's more frustration, because he isn't a bad fighter.

Viorel Simion could be a horrible fight for McCullough if he’s got anything left - gave Quigg/Selby awkward fights.

Fight week

McCullough has pulled out because of injury, unfortunately, as that was a decent test.
