Double Olympic Champion Nicola Adams OBE will fight for the fourth time as a professional on the undercard of Lee Selby’s blockbuster IBF Featherweight World Title showdown with Josh Warrington at Elland Road on Saturday 19th May.

‘The Lioness’ will fight over ten two minute rounds against an opponent to be confirmed in her second outing as a professional in her home city of Leeds.

British hero Adams ended 2017 in style with a third round stoppage win over Soledad Macedo as she improved her unbeaten record to 3-0 on the undercard of Billy Joe Saunders’ successful World Title defence against David Lemieux in Canada.

Selby v Warrington is the first ever World Title fight to be held at the home of Leeds United and local hero Adams is thrilled to be joining what is set to be the biggest sporting occasion in Yorkshire this summer.

“This is going to be a huge event for the city of Leeds and all of Yorkshire and I’m delighted to be a part of it,” said Adams. “The atmosphere when I fought at the First Direct Arena was deafening and it will be ten times louder when I step into the ring at Elland Road. There is no better feeling than fighting in front of your home crowd.

“My aim is to be fighting for a World Title of my own as soon as I can and to achieve that in my home city would be a dream come true. I’m constantly learning and developing and I hope it won’t be long before I’m knocking on the door for a shot at a Title.”

WBA #4, WBO #7, IBF #12, WBC #12 Bantamweight & undefeated Australian boxer Jason “The Smooth One” Moloney 16 (13 KOs) - 0  gears up for the biggest fight of his career May 19 as defends his World Boxing Association Oceania Bantamweight title against  Japan's Kohei Kono 33(14 KOs) – 11 (1 KOs) -1. The fight will be at Malvern Town Hall in Melbourne Australia on the Hosking Promotions & Peter Maniatis Events BOB ROSE CUP event.

Moloney defends his WBA Oceania Bantamweight for the 2nd, having previously stopped former WBO World title Challenger “The Prince” Immanuel Naidjala of Namibia for the first time in his career.

“I am extremely honoured and proud to be the WBA Oceania Champion, It is a title which I am very proud to hold.  I am also now ranked number 4 in the world by the WBA and getting very close to achieving my dream of becoming World Champion & I know that for that to happen, I must win on May 19”.

This will be Moloney's 8th WBA regional fight and is knocking on the door for the coveted WBA World Championship but Moloney knows this is the step to the next level.

“Kohei Kono is a two time World Champion and will definitely be the toughest opponent that I have faced.  Kono has only been stopped once in his career which was to the highly rated Naoya Inoue which tells me he is also very durable. I think the aggressive, come forward style which Kono brings will make for a very exciting fight! “ - states Moloney

Kono a 2 Time WBA World Champion and well respected amongst boxing insiders and fans alike. The man from Japan is no stranger to travelling as he travelled to Chicago in October of 2015 and defeated World famous Koki Komeda in his 2nd defence of his 2nd World title reign. The Japanese boxer brings his warrior spirit to Melbourne and this has the makings to be an absolute classic

The winner will edge closer to WBA Super Champion Ryan Burnett who fought on the Joshua Parker Mega card last weekend.

 “There is no doubt that Ryan Burnett is a talented fighter but to be honest I wasn’t very impressed with his last performance.

Being the WBA Super Champion is definitely one of my ultimate goals so the fight with Burnett is a fight that we would love to take and it is a fight which we believe we would win.”

According to reports, Ryan Burnett and Japans Naoya Inoue seemingly already in the next World Boxing Super Series, the winner will make a strong case for entry into the tournament.

“I think the World Boxing Super Series is fantastic. Having the best fighters in the division all coming together and fighting off for the number one spot is exactly what the sport needs.

These tournaments are producing some great fights and bringing some real excitement for the fans. 

I would absolutely love to be involved in the tournament, it would be the perfect platform for me to show what I can do and make my mark on the Bantamweight division”.

“I want to thank all of my family, friends and fans for the amazing support they continue to show me. We are now at a very exciting stage of my career and I am working extremely hard to do you all proud and bring the World Title back to Australia.

First things first, I’m 100% focused and training very hard to deliver an impressive win on May 19”.

Andy Kremner is convinced he will be the last man standing in Ultimate Boxxer I.

The Ultimate Boxxer competition at the Manchester Arena on Friday, April 27 offers prize money of £50,000 – and the chance to become boxing’s new star. Celebrities will be at ringside and big entertainment acts will perform on a night when eight unbeaten fighters go toe-to-toe over three-round fights in front of millions of internet fight fans.

The winner of three, three-round fights will win the top prize and Kremner said: “I have been waiting to get a break like this and now it’s here I’m going to take my chance.

“’Ultimate Boxxer’ looks like it’s going to be fast, explosive and exciting – and that suits me down to the ground.

“As soon as it was mentioned, we said: ‘Yes’ straightaway.

“Three-round fights definitely suit me and I really fancy my chances if I get a good draw and maybe a slice of luck or two along the way.”

Every fighter entered in ‘Ultimate Boxxer’ is unbeaten – and Kremner goes into it full of confidence having recorded a career-best win last time out.

Ricky Rose came to Oldham Leisure Centre earlier this month with a punch-perfect 3-0 record and Kremner wiped him out in four rounds with body shots.

Kremner is now looking to push his career on in ‘Ultimate Boxxer’ after shoulder injuries have restricted him to only nine fights since he turned pro in 2014.

He said: “My career hasn’t exactly gone according to plan, but being in ‘Ultimate Boxxer’ really is a dream come true and makes me think that all the late nights and early mornings might pay off after all!

“I’m the only fighter representing Manchester in ‘Ultimate Boxxer’ and I’m hoping everyone gets behind me.”
