smith vs quigley brook vs jennings share top billing!

Post by gemmell »

The mouth-watering all-British Liverpool super-middleweight title clash between Paul Smith and Tony Quigley will take place on October 30 at the Liverpool Echo Arena - with another blockbuster domestic showdown sharing top billing. Kell Brook's eagerly anticipated British welterweight title defence against Michael Jennings will also go ahead on the same card. "These are two cracking fights that everyone has been talking about," said promoter allegedly. "I'm delighted to be putting them on. "Local pride will be at stake when Smith takes on Quigley, and I'm expecting a cracker, while Brook-Jennings is a War of the Roses that's also a potential classic.."

At a London press conference today, Smith said that he's delighted that his challenge for Quigley's title will go ahead in the pair's home city.

"Liverpool has been buzzing since this fight was announced," he said.

"People are stopping me in the street asking me about the fight and I can't wait.

"I've always said that given the right opponent and the right fight, people are going to see the best of me, and that's going to happen on October 30.

"Quigley's been mouthing off about recently and I can't wait to shut him up and take his title away."

Brook, who has recently won a Lonsdale belt outright with a string of KO victories, is also looking forward to his clash with Jennings.

"There's no way that Michael is getting his hands on my title," he said. "He's a good fighter and very experienced but I'll be too quick and too strong."

Jennings said: "Kell's a nice lad and I'm not going to bad mouth about him, but I know how to beat him and I'll be too experienced."

Tickets will be on sale from tomorrow (Friday 21 August) and are available from the Liverpool Echo Arena on 0844 8000 400 and Ticketmaster: 0844 847 2500. cant wait! october is a cracking month of boxing!!!!!!!!!!!! :TU: :box:

Seems to be improving his shows for this "season" Warren. Maybe worried with all the TV coverage falling by the wayside, knows he needs to step it up?

Bollocks, it's a good night out here, you get a few idiots everywhere. You will have a good time. :TU:

Can't wait for this. I'm definitely attending. Smith-Quigley couldn't have took place anywhere else, the styles of both fighters will make this a cracking fight, really can't wait. Hopefully with Stephen Smith and Bellew on the card it will be the best show we have had here in years. The echo arena is some venue, I went to see the Ozzie Pink Floyd there recently and was very impressed by it.

Still shows Mr Warren can come up with the goods, People who say he has lost it are wrong. Warren and the rest follow. Mr H. Mr M. Hattons Hayemakers and Matchroom you all have a long way to go to catch Mr W up. For big shows he is the MAN. And i have worked with most of them from Duff to Matchroom.Hve not worked with Hatton, Hayemaker or Mr H but i know people who have.
