Chris Eubank Jr. Headline "Men Of Steel" Feb.18 At The Magna
Science Adventure Centre, Rotherham
Hennessy Sports announced today that Kid Galahad and Chris
Eubank Jr. will be looking to impress millions of fight fans
and lead the way as the new generation of boxing stars when
they both appear on the "Men of Steel" event at the Magna
Science Adventure Centre, Rotherham on Saturday Feb.18
Both bouts will be shown exclusively on Channel 5.
Sheffield's unbeaten hot prospect Kid Galahad will be vying
for his first professional title when he takes on former
British and Commonwealth champion and IBF world title
challenger, Nottingham's Jason "2 smooth" Booth for the WBC
International Super Bantamweight title, which has been
previously held by great fighters like Manny Pacquiao and
Naseem Hamed.
Kid Galahad said "Jason Booth is an experienced operator,
who has fought consistently at British and European title
level for most of his career and also challenged for a world
title back in 2010, but come the 18th February the millions
of fight fans watching me live on Channel 5 will know who
KID GALAHAD is and that I'm the next major star to come out
of Sheffield.
"It's an honour to be fighting for the prestigious WBC
international title and I will look to emulate what Naseem
and Manny have done."
Middleweight sensation, Chris Eubank Jr, son of former world
champion Chris Eubank, made his professional debut back in
November last year on the undercard of Tyson Fury's
Commonwealth Heavyweight title defence said "I can't wait to
get back in the ring and start to show the world of boxing
what I'm all about"
''I'm not just here to win- I'm here to entertain. I want
people to be excited about tuning in to watch my second
professional fight live on Channel 5."
"I got a taste of professional boxing with my first fight
and I'm hungry for more." Added Chris
Promoter Mick Hennessy said. "I'm really proud to be
showcasing these two brilliant young talents together on
Channel 5 and with Kid Galahad headlining for the
prestigious WBC International title in only his 11th fight,
I believe he will show the boxing world why we have so much
faith in him.
"There is great anticipation for Chris Eubank Jr's second
pro fight and rightfully so, he's a special and unique
talent who brings a real buzz to this great sport."
"Obviously people have known about this great fight between
Kid Galahad and Jason Booth for a while now but it was
stipulated by the WBC and the Boxing Board that the fight
could not be announced until Jason Booths medicals had
cleared, which they have now." Added Mick Hennessy
