Looking good, 10 fight card.

Good to see Owen Durnan on the bill, second pro fight beat cancer in 2022, was a good am too, ABA finalist.
Hope Liam Cameron keeps winning after his ban.
And looking forward to seeing Joe Harden go 12 and 0.

watched Konki perform a couple of take downs as he was gassing out in his last fight, think Essomba stops him 7-12, Konki is trying to be slickster, without the defensive acumen to do so.

really excited for this, hope Essomba wins, and Joe goes 12 and 0. Credit to Sunny for helping Essomba with his career.

good show so far. Owen Durnan who beat cancer last year, just won on Pts. Nohman Hussain beat a very experienced Nicaraguan with a strong winning record in the fight before.

I did some research here, they actually did it at least once in the 80s

I know I'm sad but it piqued my interest as I'd never heard of it either.

Looks like it was reintroduced though https://www.boxebu.com/ebu-silver-title ... hallengers.

winner is 4th in main EBU rankings
clearly an income generator, 2k to fight for it

Thanks :TU:

I'm a touch disappointed actually the EBU was one of the few titles that hadn't been diluted like so many, this Silver lark seems a bit tacky (says a lot that you fight for it coming off a defeat like Levy)
