BKB 52 goes ahead on Saturday and it’s going to be a night to remember!
There are THREE world-title fights in Connecticut and each one has the potential to be the fight of the year.
History could be made when Jesse Ronson challenges Nicholas ‘Cub’ Hawkins for the world light-heavyweight championship.
Jesse is looking to become the first BKB World Champion from Canada.
He will become a huge star as well if he beats ‘Cub.’
‘Cub’ has more wins in the trigon than anyone else, is a two-weight Police Gazette belt holder and last time out he sent all-time great Barrie Jones into retirement !
That is some CV – but it won’t bother Jesse.
He just gets in there and fights as you will know if you saw him beat Ryan Jett.
I couldn’t give you any clues about who will win the vacant world featherweight title at the Foxwoods Resort in Mashantucket – but it will be a great fight.
Yampier Ramirez and Ash Williams are both knockout specialists – and if you’ve watched them fight you will know they will take one to land one.
Ash has been decked in two of his three fights – and has then gone on to produce a big KO.
And Yampier was down in the first round against Brandon Birr before scoring the KO in the next.
So it’s fair to say we will see some drama when they share the trigon.
Ash is looking to become the latest champion from Wales, following the likes of Sean George, Dan Lerwell, Barrie Jones and Liam ‘Rocky’ Rees and Yorkshire has proved to be another hotbed for the sport.
Hall-of-Famers from Yorkshire include Dave Radford and Scott McHugh and Alex Wilson gets his shot at glory on Saturday night.
He meets Mexico’s Julian Fernandez for the vacant super-cruiserweight championship in what is sure to be another memorable battle.
Add to that the return of former heavyweight champion DJ Linderman and it’s going to be some night.
If you can’t be there you can catch all the action on Talk Sport, BEIN Sports, Vice TV and Deportes Ahora.
Until next week!
