Packed Undercard
Highlights Brentwood Show
September 11, 2009
(SEPT 11) In support of the much awaited
John McDermott vs. Tyson Fury English heavyweight title fight this
Friday, September 11, promoter Frank Maloney presents a competitive
undercard at Brentwood Centre in Essex. Topping off the support
card is former British light middleweight champion Gary Woolcombe, 27-2
(10), who meets experienced ex-European title challenger Roman Dzuman,
23-7-1 (10), over ten rounds.
Woolcombe has scored victories his last two bouts after losing the
British belt to domestic rival Ryan Rhodes last year but the Londoner
must win convincingly against his Ukrainian opponent if he is to get
another high profile opportunity.
Dzuman will attempt to return to the win column after facing the
murderous lineup of Jamie Moore, Alexander Abraham and Zaurbek
Baysangurov over the last 18 months.
Flashy young flyweight Ashley Sexton, 7-0 (3), puts his undefeated
record on the line against his most experienced foe to date, Brazilian
import Darli Goncalves Pires, 17-7-1 (8), over eight scheduled rounds.
Should Sexton come through this test, he'll likely next challenge for
domestic honors later this year.
A pair of six round bouts features destructive heavyweight Tom Dallas,
6-0 (4), facing Mihaly Nemet, 12-15-1 (4), and welterweight Scott
Woolford, 8-4 (1), coming to grips with William Warburton, 1-3-1 (0).
A brace of four frame contests rounds out the bill.
Undefeated light welter stylist Tyrone Nurse, 8-0 (0), squares off with
well-traveled Daniel Thorpe, 23-84-3 (9), while big punching Larry
Olubamiwo, 4-1 (4), trades leather with Norbert Sallai, 9-11 (2).
Welterweight prospects Martin Welsh, 1-0 (0), and Vinny Woolford, 2-0
(1), do battle while middleweight Tony Hill and light middle Eric
Ochieng make their professional debuts with Hill making his case against
Stuart Barr, 1-0 (0), and Ochieng going up against hard man Matt Scriven,
13-54 (1).
