POLISH ACE SOCZYNSKI ADDED TO JULY 24 CARD

POLISH hope Michal Soczynski will make his British debut on Frank Warren’s bumper bill at SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday July 24, live on BT.

The explosive Cruiserweight is signed to Queensberry Poland and has won both professional fights in style.

Soczynski who hails from Lubin outpointed Piotr Rzyman on his debut last November, and in March knocked out Michael Czykiel inside a round.

Soczynski, won 108 of his 136 amateur bouts, was Polish champion in multiple age groups and captured a Bronze medal in 2016 at the European Junior championships.

He said: “I am excited to be boxing in London. British and Polish fans will like my aggressive style. There is a big Polish community in London and I am sure they will want to support me.

“Hard work is the most important thing and I train so, so hard. I am happy with the chance Mr Warren and Mr Krawczynski have given me.”

Mariusz Krawczynski who formed Queensberry Poland with Francis Warren last year added: “Michal is the main prospect right now at Queensberry Poland.

“Many Polish fans and boxing journalists expect him to become a World champion and I am in agreement with those.

Hall of Fame promoter Frank Warren says:  “We have made good strides already with Queensberry Poland. My son Francis and Mariusz Krawczynski  are identifying the top young talent.

“As part of the partnership Polish fighters will box on Queensberry shows and some of our young British fighters will experience fighting overseas in Poland.

“I am looking forward to seeing Michal in action. He is a great addition to what is already a quality bill on a huge night for British boxing with Tyson Fury facing Deontay Wilder in the early hours of Sunday morning.”

Heading the Wembley card is Joe Joyce (12-0, 11 KOs) who defends his WBO International, WBC Silver and Commonwealth Heavyweight championships against former World title challenger, Carlos Takam (39-5-1, 28 KOs).

Hamzah Sheeraz (12-0, 8 KOs) makes the third defence of his WBO European title against Spaniard Ezequiel Gurria (15-1, 3 KOs).

Swansea’s Chris Jenkins (22-3-3, 8 KOs) risks his British and Commonwealth Welterweight titles against Nottingham’s Ekow Essuman (14-0, 5 KOs).

In a well matched fourth title fight, Peacock gym ace Chris Bourke (9-0, 6 KOs)  defends his WBC International Super-Bantamweight crown against Bloxwich’s James Beech Jnr (12-1, 2 KOs).

There is Heavyweight action featuring David Adeleye (6-0, 5 KOs) and Mill Hill’s George Fox (3-0) who makes his Queensberry debut. Both face opponents to be named.

Reading Super-Featherweight hope Charles Frankham (2-0, 1 KO) and Polish Cruiserweight Michal Soczynski (2-0, 1KO) complete the bill.
