SMITH VS MWAKINYO: Meet The UNDERCARD

Written by Jared Parry on 1st September 2022.

Liam Smith kicks off his life under BOXXER's promotional banner with a tough bout against Tanzanian danger man, Hassan Mwakinyo. The card sees something for everything, as the undercard features a world title unification, a British title fight and a host of some of the UK's brightest prospects at the M&S Bank Arena in Liverpool, live on Sky Sports.

The chief support sees Natasha Jonas fight in her hometown for the first time as a world champion. Not only does Jonas defend her WBO super welterweight title, but she also looks to rip the WBC strap away from the undefeated Patricia Berghult. Jonas jumped up three weights to demolish Chris Namus in two rounds back in April to win the WBO belt and will look to collect the WBC strap in front of a raucous hometown crowd.

Dan Azeez makes the second defence of his British light heavyweight title against former champion, Shakan Pitters. Azeez won the vacant title against Hosea Burton in November before defending it in March against Reece Cartwright. Pitters lost his belt back in 2020 to Craig Richards and will be clamouring to regain his title. 

One of the most sought-after talents in the UK, Adam Azim will look to continue his incredible KO streak this Saturday when he faces off with Michel Daniel Cabral. Last time out, Azim won the WBC Youth title with a brutal first-round knockout. Diego Costa was pencilled in to face John Docherty, however, Docherty withdrew and Costa now faces Musa Moyo.

Popular heavyweight Frazer Clarke returns to face the undefeated Pencho Tsvetkov over six rounds. Clarke will be looking to build on his brutal knockout victory last time out. Cruiserweight prospect Nathan Quarless returns to the ring for the 11th time this Saturday, whilst another cruiserweight prospect on the card, Scott Forrest will look to move to 3-0. Both men have yet to have opponents confirmed.

Frankie Stringer will be looking to build on his debut victory last time out, as he now faces Karl Sampson in the second fight of his professional career. Paddy Lacey returns to the arena where he produced a sensational 43-second knockout in his last outing. Lacey will square off with Seamus Devlin over six rounds.

Do starts get any better than that? A quick night's work for @paddy_lacey ???? ????@wassermanboxing @sauerlandbros @williamhill #Boxingon5 pic.twitter.com/vcd8Obvudh
