INTRODUCING ULTIMATE BOXXER

CONTENDER #2

SAM EVANS

Take a look at red-hot Ultimate Boxxer contender Sam Evans as he promises to bulldoze his way to victory in boxing’s exciting new tournament with a raw, brutal and no-nonsense style.

ULTIMATE BOXXER I will take place at the Manchester Arena on April 27. Tickets are available from www.ultimateboxxer.com

Wednesbury’s Sam Evans believes he will win the first Ultimate Boxxer 🏆 At only 21 years old he is someone to watch 🎥 Follow his journey @ultimateboxxer as all roads lead to the Manchester Arena on 27th April.
Wednesbury welterweight Sam Evans is looking to crash, bang, wallop his way to boxing stardom.

The exciting ‘Ultimate Boxxer’ tournament at the Manchester Arena on Friday, April 27 offers life-changing prize money from a pool of £50,000 – and the chance to become a British boxing’s newest star.

Celebrities will be at ringside and big entertainment acts will perform on a night when eight unbeaten fighters go toe-to-toe over three-round fights in front of millions of internet fight fans.

The winner of three, three-round fights will win the top prize and Evans is convinced that will be him.

The 21 year old said: “My aggression, workrate and toughness will win me fights. I will take a few to land a few. I’m looking forward to having three dog fights,”

“I’m going to go for it. You have to be tough to win three fights on the same night – and I’m tough enough to do it,”

“I’m moving down in weight, so will be strong and I’m going to make the fights gruelling for my opponents.

“There isn’t time to look at your opponents and give rounds away, you have to get stuck in from the start,”

“I’m going to throwing lots of punches. I will be fighting at a high pace from first bell to last,”

“This is a massive opportunity, the chance of a lifetime really,”

“You’ve got eight unbeaten lads in ‘Ultimate Boxxxer’ and doors are going to open for the winner.”

Formerly under Ultimate Boxxer ambassador Ricky Hatton, Evans is now working with Errol Johnson and Paul Mann at their gym in Wednesbury.

“We’re working hard in the gym,” said Evans, “I’m ready to fight with all guns blazing.”

Speed:  He may not be the fastest Ultimate Boxxer contender, but what he lacks in speed he makes up with abundance in raw strength
Stamina: Good. Has finished strongly in both six and eight-round fights. He drew his last fight, over eight rounds, with a good finish
Anything else: He was trained by Ricky Hatton for his first 10 pro fights. Hatton said that Evans’s slipping, rolling and hooking style reminded him of himself.
