The upcoming IBO light heavyweight world title showdown between Lyndon Arthur and Braian Nahuel Suarez promises to be an explosive affair as the dynamite-fisted Argentinean vows to cause an upset and leave Arthur’s plans for huge domestic clashes in tatters.
Suarez, who has KO’d 17 opponents, has arrived in the UK ahead of the fight on Friday night, which will be broadcast live and free-to-air on Channel 5 in association with Ladrbrokes, Numan and Infinitium Entertainment.
The winner of the bout will take home the IBO belt and put themselves in the frame for some bigger fights in the packed 175 lbs division, including potential clashes with Joshua Buatsi, Dan Azeez, and other top talent on the UK shores.
“Everyone wants to fight in big fights and I believe that if I defeat Arthur I should be given my chance against Buatsi, Azeez and the other fights that he is chasing,” said Suarez.
“Arthur is a good boxer with great skills, he is tall and uses the distance well, but he also has weaknesses like everyone and I plan on taking advantage of them.”
Suarez, a former youth football player for Velez Sarsfield and River Plate, will be fighting outside of his homeland for the first time as a professional. However, the 30-year-old from Buenos Aires is not worried about being the away fighter and is fully prepared and ready for the challenge.
“For me this is an honour to be able to fight in the UK and represent my country abroad. I am extremely motivated for this fight,” Suarez said.
The Arthur vs. Suarez fight will headline a Wasserman Boxing card at the University of Bolton Stadium, with the excitement set to begin at 10pm on Friday night. Boxing fans won’t want to miss this must-watch event that could have a significant impact on the UK light heavyweight scene.
