Jones vs. Osorio Headlines At York Hall
November 3, 2016: Hellraiser Boxing, headed by promoter Mickey Helliet, has put together a very interesting card at the legendary York Hall in London’s East End on Saturday, November 5, with well-matched and competitive fights from top to bottom.
Headlining “East End Explosion”, as the show is labeled, in a ten rounder, will be WBO # 4 Featherweight contender Ben Jones (21-5-1, 10 KOs), who is closing in on a shot at World Champion Oscar Valdez from Mexico.
But “Duracel” Jones, a former English, WBO European, IBO International and WBO Intercontinental champion, has to be fully focused on Saturdays task.
In the opposite corner will be 26-year-old Nicaraguan Carlos Osorio (13-5, 5 KOs), who sees this as a great opportunity to gatecrash the world rankings and put himself in Jones´ position. Coming off a September victory over former IBF world title-challenger Carlos Rueda, he is brimming with confidence going in.
“I cant remember making such a competitive fight-card with so many fighters with positive records boxing each other”, said Mickey Helliet, and revealed that Highlights from the show will be televised in the UK by Channel 4in the coming weeks.
“Fair play to all the guys for stepping up. Proper 50/50 fights throughout the card, so a very interesting night lies ahead. People should come to York Hall and experience the great atmosphere and some great fights.”
On the undercard, undefeated Super Welterweight Tony Milch (11-0, 1 KO) takes on Hungarian Ferenc Katona (6-2, 3 KOs) in what is on paper an intriguing match-up, while American Heavyweight Donnie Palmer (8-1-1, 7 KOs) makes his UK debut against Marios Kollias (3-1, 3 KOs) from Greece.
Also in action will be lightweight prospect Jack Raines (1-0), who will be in with Roland Farago (3-2, 2 KOs) from Hungary, who has made a good account of himself on two previous visits to the UK, and unbeaten Light Welterweight hope Siar Ozgul (10-0, 1 KO) against battle-tested Slovakian Ivan Godor (17-40-4, 6 KOs).
The ten-bout card, also includes the professional debut of Ipswich-Heavyweight Fabio Wardley, and fights involving prospects Spiros Demetriou (5-0, 1 KO), Ricardo Coker (1-0), Ryan Maycock (1-0) and Davis Pagan (2-0).
