Walsh vs. Lowe On Groves vs. Eubank
Undercard In Manchester Feb. 17
Ryan Walsh (22-2-1, 11 KOs) will defend his British
Featherweight Title against Isaac Lowe (14-0-2, 5 KOs) at
the Manchester Arena, February 17.
The all-action contest will take place on the undercard of
the World Boxing Super Series Super Middleweight Semi-Final
clash between George Groves and Chris Eubank Jr.
“This is such a great platform for me to showcase my
skills,” said 31-year-old Walsh.
“The Ali Trophy semi-final with Groves and Eubank is a mega
fight, and I'm so happy that I am a part of this massive
occasion.”
The intriguing match-up between Walsh and Lowe is more than
just fight a between two skilled British featherweights. It
is a genuine grudge match which began on social media:
“This is personal between me and Lowe. I'm going to make him
pay for every stupid thing he has tweeted,” said Walsh, the
defending British champion.
“Lowe is good, young talented and hungry fighter. But he
seems to be a very angry person. If you tweet up, be
prepared to get beat up. And that's what I'm going to do.
I'm going to beat him up and teach him a life lesson.”
Lowe revealed his delight to be boxing in his hometown of
Manchester once again, and the 23-year old insists that the
pair's styles will gel perfectly to make a crowd-pleasing
encounter.
“I'm so pleased to be boxing again in Manchester in front of
all my own fans. I cannot wait to finally prove myself on
this platform and make a massive statement. The fans better
get their popcorn ready, because this has the potential to
be the fight of the year!”
The Ali Trophy super middleweight semi-final between George
Groves and Chris Eubank Jr. and Walsh vs. Lowe will be live
on ITV Box Office on February 17.
