Pat Brown vs. Vasil Ducar April 3
Pat Brown has warned Vasil Ducar it will be a ‘bad Friday’
for him when they collide on April 3 in his hometown of
Altrincham – live on DAZN.
The Good Friday showdown at the Planet Ice Arena will be the
second time Cruiserweight sensation Brown has been the Main
Event in just his sixth professional fight, after turning
over last year.
The former Team GB Olympian has been backed to one day
become a World Champion by promoter, Matchroom Sport
Chairman, Eddie Hearn, and Brown – who has won all five of
his fights by way of knockout and was nominated by The Ring
in their star-studded shortlist for Prospect of the Year –
is eager to underline in front of his home fans why he is
regarded as one of the most destructive talents on the
planet.
"It’s back to where it all started for me, so I’m very
excited,” said Brown, speaking to Matchroom Boxing.
"I’ve got a lot of people coming to see me and you can
guarantee the roof is going to be lifted, like it was on my
debut.”
The WBA International Title will be on the line on April 3
in what will be another important hurdle ito clear in
Brown’s meteoric rise.
But Brown, 26, insists taking a challenge against Ducar –
who has given the likes of Chris Billam-Smith and Chev
Clarke tough nights in the past – will not be a jump too
soon in his burgeoning career.
“People have said it’s too soon for me to be facing someone
like Vasil Ducar. But these are the sort of people who don’t
know much about my amateur background and haven’t seen me in
sparring,” Brown added.
"From the age of seven, I have lived and breathed this
sport. Is it too soon for me? Well, everyone is going to
find out on April 3 on Good Friday – but, let me tell you,
it will be a bad Friday for him.
“I know sparring is different, but I need rounds and I want
rounds. Everyone’s got to get tested. I believe this man
will give me that. He might even be saying it’s too soon for
me, but he has never been in the ring with someone like me.
Brown believes a win over Ducar will set him up for more big
nights ahead – live on the global home of Boxing, DAZN –
after Matchroom Boxing's recent five-year extension with the
leading broadcast platform.
“So much has happened in the first year of my career. I
never imagined it be the way it has been," he said.
"All the experiences I've had, from travelling to fighting
to even doing the media work in between, is all new to me
but I’ve enjoyed it. We’re in year two now and I’m sure it’s
only going to get even better – let alone the fifth year
down the line.
“DAZN is the Global Home of Boxing. You could tell when they
took over that this was the platform of where things would
be at. Everyone’s following Matchroom and everyone knows
what DAZN is about.
"People are finding it easy to watch all the best fights in
one place, so they are all seeing DAZN as a positive. Just
make sure you tune in on April 3 – because it will be sold
out in Altrincham.”
