Background
Argentinian Ezequiel Osvaldo Maderna won the WBC International light-heavyweight title by upsetting unbeaten prospect Karol Itauma in round five at Wembley Arena on the Beterbiev-Yarde undercard in January. Despite being a two-time Argentinian champion, two-weight WBC Latino titlist and IBO World title contender, his win over Kent's Karol suprised many, and he defends his new green and gold title off the back of two fifth round stoppages.
24 from Scotland, Hutchinson has suffered a fifth round knockout defeat himself, when he clashed with Lennox Clarke for British and Commonwealth super-middleweight titles. The "Braveheart" had come down to 168lbs to fight for those titles, but has gone back up to 175lbs for his second title challenge. The Carstairs combatant has 11 KOs in 15 fights, that's an impressive 73% KO ratio, so this fight could be explosive.
Quotes
Frank Warren: “I am looking forward to seeing Willy Hutchinson come of age at light heavyweight and make good on his obvious potential against a quality opponent who we know all about.”
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Maderna really turned up in his last fight against Itauma and couldn't miss with that right hand. I was there and saw that Karol was troubled by him all fight long, he tried adapting but just kept getting caught. Against Willy Hutchinson, I think it'll be different. Hutchinson has already tasted defeat and won't want that feeling or setback in his career again. I think he impresses with a stoppage win in the second half of the contest.”
