Abass Baraou vs Sam Eggington weigh-in results and fight schedule
Headliners Abass Baraou and Sam Eggington weighed in ahead of Friday night’s European super welterweight championship clash at the Telford International Centre, live and free-to-air on Channel 5 at 10pm.
Fans can also watch the undercard, featuring Welland, Harris and Zaurbek, live on DAZN from 7pm. The pre-lim bouts will be live-streamed on YouTube.
Wasserman Boxing promoter Kalle Sauerland has promised fans that the entire card is going to be a great advertisement for boxing.
Visiting fighter Abass Baraou was very respectful to the home fighter: “I know Sam is a tough fighter who comes forward all night, he has been in wars and he has a lot of experience, but this is what I’m looking for and I can’t wait.
“I wasn’t aware that Sam has been involved in two Fight of the Year fights, but this doesn’t mean anything to me. I am expecting to deal with everything he brings in the ring.”
‘Savage’ Sam Eggington responded: “Anyone who has watched me box before, knows I have one style and that is to get the job done – and we don’t get paid overtime. From the moment I signed for this fight, I have had the feeling that it will catch fire at some point. How soon it catches fire is up to Abass because I don’t back down from a scrap.
“I don’t think this fight will go the 12 rounds.”
