Sam Eggington takes on King Carlos Molina.
The Skydome in Coventry hosts the return of fans this Saturday night, with Sam Eggington and Carlos Molina meeting for the vacant WBC Silver Middleweight title over twelve rounds in the main event.
It feels like Eggington (29-7, KO18) has been around for decades, but the Midlander has packed so much into a professional career that began in September 2012.
Best known in his early career for fan friendly performances in defeat in two separate Prizefighter tournaments that got the endorsement from promoter, Barry Hearn, who has championed Sam ever since.
‘The Savage’ pretty much learned on the job, and captured British and Commonwealth belts at Welterweight before shipping them to Bradley Skeete on the cards in March 2016.
Kyle Ryan Wagner, 33, of Sheboygan, went to his LORD Friday morning January 8th, 2021 at his home from a pulmonary edema.
Born November 14th, 1987, in Sheboygan, Kyle was the son of Arthur and Christine (nee Reseburg) Wagner. Kyle Graduated from Pigeon River Elementary School, Urban Middle School, and Sheboygan North High School. While at Sheboygan North High he enjoyed competing in cross country running. Kyle served as a combat medic from 2007 thru 2010 completing one tour in Iraq. He received an honorable discharge from the United States Military. Upon returning from active duty, he attended Lakeshore Technical College and attained an Associate’s Degree in Criminal Justice. His last full-time position was as an officer in the Sheboygan Police Department in 2020.
Craig Richards claimed the British title with a ninth round stoppage over Shakan Pitters.
Shakan Pitters was dethroned of his British Light Heavyweight title in his first defence, as Craig ‘Spider’ Richards scored a stunning ninth round stoppage to become the new champion.
Richards was keen to work off his own jab and negate one of Pitters’ strongest weapons, and the Londoner began well, forcing Pitters to ponder and be cautious in his approach, but the champion landed a nice short left hand right at the end of the first frame.
Pitters started to find his range in the second, landing with several jabs, but it was still cagey stuff. Richards put his punches together a lot better in round three, driving Pitters back to the ropes, and the fourth saw Richards make the breakthrough, dropping Pitters heavily.
