DANGEROUS MEXICAN MACIAS STEPS IN TO FACE SIMPSON AT BOXXER: BREAKTHROUGH ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30th

DANGEROUS MEXICAN MACIAS STEPS IN TO FACE SIMPSON AT BOXXER: BREAKTHROUGH ON SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 30th

  • With a history of derailing contenders, Jose De Jesus Macias steps in to replace injured Germaine Brown to give Simpson serious test 
  • Macias almost upset Top 3-ranked super-middleweight Erik Bazinyan in June, brings career-best form to London for Simpson showdown
  • BOXXER: BREAKTHROUGH airs live and exclusively on Sky Sports in the UK and Ireland

LONDON, ENGLAND(September 21st, 2023) – A serious threat awaits Callum Simpson in London next weekend as dangerous Mexican Jose De Jesus Macias steps in to replace an injured Germaine Brown on the BOXXER: Breakthrough card at London’s York Hall on Saturday, September 30th, live and exclusive on Sky Sports

In June this year, Macias faced Erik Bazinyan – ranked #3 in the world at super-middleweight by the WBC and #2 by the WBA – and gave him a scare, nearly spoiling Bazinyan’s undefeated record and the big-money Canelo Alvarez showdown that Bazinyan has been linked with. 

Macias (28-12, 14 KO’s) has made a career of derailing contenders and spoiling the night for home fighters – such as his jaw-breaking 2021 TKO of recent WBO world title challenger Steve Butler in Canada – and he’s aiming to do the same to Simpson (12-0, 9 KO’s) next Saturday during his first-ever visit to the UK. 

For Barnsley man Simpson – considered one of the best under-the-radar talents in the UK by boxing insiders before he signed with BOXXER earlier this year – it’s a chance to test his mettle against a fighter who has faced some of the division’s toughest talents and score a win which will put his name on the international radar.

“Callum Simpson already had a tough opponent for September 30th and now he has an even tougher one. Jose de Jesus Macias is an excellent boxer who has caused a string of upsets over the years and gave the world-ranked #3 super-middleweight Erik Bazinyan all sorts of problems in June,” said Ben Shalom, BOXXER CEO.

“This is a serious test for Simpson. There aren’t many fighters who would step up to this level of opposition so early in their careers, especially on short notice, and I think he deserves a lot of credit for accepting this fight with Macias.”

BOXXER presents Simpson vs Macias in association with bet365 as the event’s bet365 Wildcard contest

BOXXER: Breakthrough at York Hall, London takes place Saturday, September 30 and airs live and exclusively in the UK and Ireland on Sky Sports.

This event is presented in association with official partners bet365, Everlast, WOW HYDRATE, Village Hotels and Fastline Steel Services.

PETITJEAN vs AZIM – 18 November 2023, The Halls Wolverhampton

WOLVES AT THE DOOR: AZIM AND DENNY ON HUNT FOR EUROPEAN TITLES IN WOLVERHAMPTON ON SATURDAY NOVEMBER 18

ABOUT

  • 21-year-old prodigy Adam Azim headlines against EBU European Super Lightweight champion Franck Petitjean in tenth professional outing,
  • Miracle story continues for Midlands man Tyler Denny as he challenges reigning EBU European Middleweight champion Matteo Signani
  • BOXXER: WOLVES AT THE DOOR airs live and exclusively on Sky Sports

Young wolf Adam Azim (9-0, 6 KO’s) is on the title trail: the 21-year-old prodigy heads to Wolverhampton on Saturday, November 18th to sink his teeth into defending EBU European Super Lightweight Champion Franck Petitjean (24-6-3, 6 KO’s), live and exclusive on Sky Sports.

Having been guided by BOXXER into a position to fight for the EBU title, Azim is gunning for European gold in just his tenth professional bout.

After winning the French national championship and mounting three successful defences, southpaw Petitjean successfully stepped up to European level for his first stint as EBU super-lightweight level then challenged for the IBO world championship in 2018. He reclaimed the EBU title in June this year and will make the first defence of his second championship reign against Azim on November 18th.

Also entering the wolf’s lair on November 18th is EBU European Middleweight Champion Matteo Signani (32-6-3, 12 KO’s). He will defend his title against the Black Country’s own Tyler Denny (17-2, 3 KO’s), who hails from nearby Birmingham and will have an enormous wolfpack of supporters behind him when he enters the ring.

Smith and Eubank Jr first fought in January, meeting in the middle of the ring for a frenetic firefight which lasted just one minute into the fourth round before Smith secured victory with a stunning pair of knockdowns.

Upset at the referee’s intervention and determined to avenge the defeat, Eubank Jr immediately activated the contracted rematch clause and went into a protracted training camp focused on handing a loss to Liverpool man Smith.

With a prior date having been postponed due to Smith suffering a minor injury in training camp, the simmering rivalry has reached new heights with each passing month and is set to reach boiling point tonight, September 2nd.

The Opening Round: Liam Smith v Chris Eubank Jr II

The Opening Round: Liam Smith v Chris Eubank Jr II

Bet £10 on Liam Smith v Chris Eubank II and get £30 in Free Bets – New customers only. T&Cs apply.

Repeat or revenge? That’s the question on everyone’s mind ahead of the hotly-anticipated rematch between Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr on Saturday at the AO Arena in Manchester.

The first meeting of this pair at the same venue in January was a barnburner, with former WBO light-middleweight champion Smith stopping Eubank Jr in devastating fashion in the fourth round.

Defeat in this bout delivered a hammer blow to Eubank Jr’s aspirations of a world title shot, with a rematch clause exercised to see the 33-year-old get a chance to seek revenge against his Liverpudlian nemesis Smith.

This all-British middleweight rivalry has certainly caught fire, with the needle between the two fighters there for all to see in the build-up to Saturday’s stacked BOXXER card which they will headline in Manchester.

There is a lot on the line on Saturday night for slight betting favourite Smith (8/13), and narrow underdog Eubank Jr (13/10), with both boxers seeking a win to put themselves in contention for a world title shot and other lucrative fights against domestic rivals such as Conor Benn and Kell Brook.

Read our full Liam Smith v Chris Eubank Jr Fight Preview article HERE.

Ben Shalom, founder and CEO of BOXXER, is expecting a pulsating encounter in the main event of Saturday night’s stacked card of boxing at the AO Arena.

“I think what we are going to see is the fight we all expected the first time.

“I believe we’ll see a well prepared, well conditioned Eubank Jr, which should see this fight go longer and turn into a proper battle,” Shalom said.

Watch the full exclusive interview with Ben Shalom HERE.

bet365’s resident Boxing expert Rob Tebbutt is anticipating a similar outcome as the first fight when Smith and Eubank Jr meet inside the ring again at the AO Arena.

“For me, the value bet is a repeat of what happened last time, with Liam Smith to win by TKO, which you can back at odds of 5/2,” he said.

bet365’s Boxing Compiler and trader Ian Vickers, on the other hand, believes the betting value lies with Eubank Jr ahead of Saturday’s rematch.

“From the get-go with this fight I feel the value has to be with Eubank Jr with the prices, I think he’ll keep his distance and composure to nick it on the cards,” he said.

Saturday night’s BOXXER card will also see the return to action of exciting British super-lightweight prospect Adam Azim, who will take on Ukrainian Aram Faniian over 10 rounds.

Rob Tebbutt expects the highly-rated Azim to win in style in Manchester.

“I expect Azim to return to the knockout trail now that he has recovered from a hand injury that forced him out of the ring for the longest time in his professional career so far.

“I’m looking at Azim to win by stoppage (KO/TKO) at odds of 4/7,” he said.

An intriguing all-British heavyweight showdown also features on the undercard, with Frazer Clarke aiming to maintain his undefeated professional record against a game opponent in Dave Allen.

Old crowd favourite Allen hasn’t fought at this level since losing to David Price in 2019, and will have his work cut out to contend with an ever-improving Clarke.

Rob Tebbutt is confident ‘Big Fraze’ will come out on top at the AO Arena, but that Allen will be no walkover.

“I think Clarke will win in good fashion, but I do like the look of the price for the fight to go Over 6.5 Rounds at 5/6,” he said.

bet365 are also offering Bet Boosts across all of Saturday night’s BOXXER action, including a 10/1 shot on Chris Eubank Jr to win by stoppage in Over 6.5 Rounds in the headline bout against Liam Smith.

BOXXER BREAKTHROUGH – 30 September 2023, York Hall, London

CAROLINE DUBOIS WORLD TITLE CHALLENGE, RILEY vs QUARLESS FOR ENGLISH TITLE AND CALLUM SIMPSON CONFIRMED FOR HISTORIC YORK HALL ON SEPTEMBER 30TH

ABOUT

  • Dubois faces Mexican veteran Magali Rodriguez for IBO World Lightweight Championship in headline bout of BOXXER: Breakthrough card
  • First world title bout of 22-year-old prodigy’s career takes place in London’s historic York Hall and airs live and exclusively on Sky Sports
  • Viddal Riley faces Nathan Quarless for English Cruiserweight Championship

The stunning ascent of Caroline Dubois (6-0, 5 KO’s) scales new heights on Saturday, September 30th when the 22-year-old prodigy steps up to challenge for the IBO World Lightweight Championship at London’s historic York Hall live and exclusively on Sky Sports

Her world title challenge is one of three bouts announced today for a BOXXER: Breakthrough event showcasing the top tier of British boxing’s young talent, with undefeated crusierweights Viddal Riley and Nathan Quarless contesting the English English Cruiserweight Title and super-middleweight standout Callum Simpson heading into a firefight with the always-aggressive Germaine ‘G-Man’ Brown.

Competing in just her eighth professional bout, the prodigious Dubois will face power-punching Mexican veteran Magali Rodriguez (22-6-4, 9 KO’s), a former WBA world title challenger and current WBC title holder who has a 40% finish rate in her professional victories.

Two of the country’s top young cruiserweights will put their undefeated records on the line in a North vs South battle for the vacant English Cruiserweight Championship when London’s  Viddal Riley (9-0, 6 KO’s) – himself a Youth Olympian like Dubois – faces Liverpool lad Nathan Quarless (12-0).

A serious threat awaits Callum Simpson in London next weekend as dangerous Mexican Jose De Jesus Macias steps in to replace an injured Germaine Brown.

Macias (28-12, 14 KO’s) has made a career of derailing contenders and spoiling the night for home fighters – such as his jaw-breaking 2021 TKO of recent WBO world title challenger Steve Butler in Canada – and he’s aiming to do the same to Simpson (12-0, 9 KO’s) next Saturday during his first-ever visit to the UK. 

Hotly-tipped prospect Francesca Hennessy will make her debut BOXXER and professional debut. Entering the professional ranks following an accomplished amateur career which saw her win two national championships, the Women’s Winter Box Cup and Sweden’s Golden Girls Box Cup.

BUATSI vs AZEEZ – 21 October 2023, The O2, London

PATHS COLLIDE: HUGE UNDEFEATED ALL-BRITISH CLASH IN THE CAPITAL AS WORLD #1-RANKED JOSHUA BUATSI MEETS #2-RANKED DAN AZEEZ AT THE O2 LONDON ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 21st

ABOUT

A decade-long friendship will be put to one side on Saturday, October 21st when top light-heavyweights Joshua Buatsi (17-0, 13 KO’s) and ‘Super’ Dan Azeez (19-0, 13 KO’s) meet in storied London arena The O2 in an unbeaten all-domestic clash.

Airing live and exclusively on Sky Sports, the BOXXER: BUATSI VS AZEEZ – PATHS COLLIDE main event sees two friends turn rivals for a mouth-watering all-business clash between two top fighters in their prime and ready to lay it all in the line. 

Also confirmed for the October 21st card is a British cruiserweight championship clash as Mikael Lawal defends his title against Isaac Chamberlain. The rivalry between the two Londoners has simmered for some time but ignited at a press conference earlier this year and looks set to be settled in explosive fashion when they finally meet in the ring.

Commonwealth super-welterweight champion Louis ‘The Medway Mauler’ Greene (16-3, 10 KO’s) will make a third defence of his title when he meets Sam ‘Magic Man’ Gilley (16-1, 8 KO’s) in a highly-anticipated clash.

2020 Olympics bronze medallist Karriss Artingstall (4-0) is also confirmed for the card, heading to The O2 in London for what will be her fifth professional outing and her second time competing over eight rounds as she works her way up the rankings and towards title contention. Her opponent will be revealed in the near future.

And sparks are set to fly in a ten-round super-welterweight encounter when Michael Hennessy (11-1, 2 KO’s) – son of veteran British boxing manager Mick Hennessy and brother to recent BOXXER signing Fran Hennessy – meets an opponent with an equally deep British boxing heritage: Harley Benn (9-2, 1 KO), son of former two-weight world champion Nigel Benn.
