Three thrilling matchups have been unveiled for the upcoming BOXXER: Breakthrough event set to electrify London's historic York Hall on Saturday, September 30th. Here's what's in store:
1. Caroline Dubois vs. Magali Rodriguez - In a meteoric rise, Caroline Dubois (7-0, 5 KO’s) steps up to challenge for the IBO lightweight world title in only her eighth professional bout. The 22-year-old prodigy, a Youth Olympics champion in her amateur career, faces the formidable Mexican veteran Magali Rodriguez (22-6-4, 9 KO’s). Dubois has her sights set on world domination, aiming for big-name opponents such as Mikaela Mayer and Katie Taylor in 2023.
2 . Viddal Riley vs. Nathan Quarless - Two undefeated cruiserweights collide in a North vs. South showdown for the vacant English cruiserweight championship. London's Viddal Riley (9-0, 6 KO’s), a Youth Olympian like Dubois, brings a series of crowd-pleasing stoppages into the ring, while Liverpool's Nathan Quarless (12-0) relies on his ring smarts to maintain his perfect record. This bout promises to be a gripping contest.
3. Callum Simpson vs. Germaine ‘G-Man’ Brown - Super-middleweight standout Callum Simpson (12-0, 9 KO’s) takes on the relentless Germaine ‘G-Man’ Brown (13-2, 4 KO’s) in a guaranteed crowd-pleaser. These two fighters, both known for their forward aggression and center-ring dominance, will engage in an explosive super-middleweight showdown.
BOXXER CEO Ben Shalom expressed his excitement about the event, highlighting Caroline Dubois' exceptional talent and ambition, the classic North/South rivalry in the English Cruiserweight Championship bout, and the potential for an instant classic between Callum Simpson and Germaine Brown. He emphasized that BOXXER: Breakthrough events are all about showcasing the best young talent in Britain, setting the stage for the next generation of champions.
