Joel Brunker Set To Flip
The Script In England Tonight Against Unbeaten Warrington
Australian featherweight contender Joel Brunker says that
all talk of his next opponent, undefeated Josh Warrington,
facing current IBF Champion Lee Selby in an all-UK showdown
will be moot when he hands Warrington his first defeat
tomorrow night (Saturday, September 5).
Brunker (28-1, 16 KOs) from New South Wales will face
hometown hero Warrington (21-0, 4 KOs) for the WBC
International and Commonwealth (British Empire)
Featherweight Championships at the First Direct Arena,
Leeds, Yorkshire in the United Kingdom.
"The media over here keeps talking about Josh Warrington
fighting Lee Selby next in an all-English showdown, but they
aren't focusing enough on what's about to happen," said
Brunker. "I'm coming in tomorrow night to take Warrington
out!"
Brunker's only career loss was to Selby in October 2014. In
his last fight, Brunker picked up the International Boxing
Organization Oceania Super Featherweight Championship by
dropping and stopping Ray Laspinas of the Philippines in two
rounds last February at the Richmond Club in Richmond, New
South Wales, Australia.
"What they should be getting ready for is my rematch with
Selby because that's what's going to happen and this time
I'll be ready for him," Brunker continued.
"They seem to be overlooking Joel somewhat over here and
talking about the Selby fight as though it's a foregone
conclusion," said Brunker's co-promoter, Greg Cohen of Greg
Cohen Promotions (along with Adam Wilcock of FightCard
Promotions). "It's a huge mistake on their part to overlook
Joel because he's coming in here to set up a rematch with
Selby by beating this undefeated guy."
