Seems like Mark Lloyd has landed himself a shock go at the EU Welter title in Italy next weekend. He's fighting Luciano Abis who I think has been on Eurosport once or twice - he isn't bad but been found out at European level.

Probably a step to far for Lloyd out in Italy, but the EU belt is actually a good stepping stone for European honours. This was a title that Craig Watson lost out on a few years ago.

I wish him all the best.

Thats a joke , Kevin Mcintyre was meant to fight Abis end of Jan but hurt his hand , the show got cancelled anyway but kev would have made this date no problem

Nice one if this happens. I have a little soft spot for the EU title, can be a good stepping stone. If this does happen I think the promoters should contact Premiersports who seem keen to expand their boxing output.

How many all British EU title fights have there been? Any?

I would like to see more British fighters go for the EU title. It makes sense for good British fighters, that are having trouble getting a shot at a domestic title, to go for it.

hi mate its michael hunter you still hard at then buddy im drifin from the old sport now but good luck kev

Lloyd lost on points, the fight was stopped after 6 rounds due to cuts to Luciano Abis , Lloyd had been deducted 2 points for head work, but this may of been harsh
