On the afternoon of January 26, 2022, Beijing time, British ultra-lightweight boxer Tyrone McKenna said in an interview with reporters that he would return to the boxing ring in Dubai, United Arab Emirates on March 19, 2022, when he would meet the former WBA ultra-lightweight world boxing champion and American boxer Regis Prograis at the Dubai Tennis Hall.
In fact, the match between the two had a premonition. In recent weeks, two boxers who are both in the top ten at both ultra-lightweight levels have been engaged in verbal battles on online social media. Now the language contest has finally escalated and become a real game.
For Tyrone McKenna, Regis Progres will be the biggest obstacle in his professional boxing career, because this American has played the WBC's temporary World Champion Battle, the WBA World Champion Battle, and the World Boxing Championship, which can be described as experienced. The only defeat of his career was in October 2019 against Josh Taylor, who has now unified the entire professional boxing super lightweight. Moreover, Regis Progueres has an extremely high KO rate, with 22 of his 26 wins being won in ko-style, with a KO rate of 81.48%, which is a very good achievement at the small level.
Tyrone McKenna has not competed for the Title of World Champion until now, losing twice in his career, one to Jack Cattler and the other to Ola Davis, both of whom are not first-class masters despite their ability in the ultra-lightweight category. So a lot of people are pinching a handful of sweat over Tyrone McKenna's performance against Regis Progres.
Richard Schaefer, president of The Boxing Promotion Company of The Match, who runs the tournament, has a lot of confidence in the match. Speaking to reporters, he said: "We are very excited to return to Dubai for our first official match of 2022. ”
"At the end of last year, we had the first ever match of The Bombard Boxing Promotion in Dubai and it was well received. Through that match, we already learned that the city of Dubai actually has a lot of interest in boxing, so we plan to bring more good boxers to Dubai. This time we brought Sonny Edwards, Mohammed Wassim, Terren McKenna and Regis Progress. They are all top boxers in their respective levels, so I hope boxing fans will buy tickets quickly and don't miss this wonderful match. ”
And that's not the end of it, Probellum Boxing Promotion intends to be a force influencing professional boxing in a very short period of time. So we plan to follow this game with two more games that will be enough to make history. Richard Shafer added to reporters.
