CONRAD CUMMINGS-DANNY DIGNUM MIDDLEWEIGHT CLASH TO HEADLINE LATEST EDITION OF #MTKFIGHTNIGHT ON ESPN+
Stream to begin at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT
(NOV. 6, 2019) — Conrad “Mr. Dynamite” Cummings and the unbeaten
Danny Dignum will square off in a can’t-miss 10-round tilt for the
vacant WBO European middleweight title Saturday from London’s York
Hall on the latest edition of #MTKFightNight.
Cummings-Dignum and a stacked undercard will stream live on ESPN+, the
leading multi-sport streaming service, starting at 3 p.m. ET/12 p.m. PT.
Cummings (17-3-1, 7 KOs) hopes to capture the WBO European middleweight
belt for the third time. His second reign ended in March via unanimous
decision to top contender Luke Keeler, but he returned to the win column
in October with a six-round points victory over veteran Adam Grabiec.
Dignum (11-0, 5 KOs), from Essex, England, will make his middleweight
debut after fighting at super middleweight and light heavyweight. This
is his first scheduled 10-round bout, and he is coming off an
eight-round decision over former world title challenger and European
welterweight champion Rafal Jackiewicz.
IN OTHER ACTION ON THE ESPN+ STREAM:
* Welterweight contender MICHAEL “THE PROBLEM” MCKINSON (17-0, 2
KOs) will face fellow unbeaten LUIS ALBERTO VARON (17-0-2, 8 KOs) in a
10-rounder.
* Former world title challenger LIAM WALSH (22-1, 15 KOs) will fight
longtime British fan-favorite MAXI HUGHES (19-4-2, 4 KOs) for the vacant
WBO European lightweight belt. Walsh challenged Gervonta Davis for the
IBF junior lightweight world title in May 2017 and was knocked out in
the third round. He has fought once since taking a nearly two-year
sabbatical from the ring. Before facing Davis, he captured British and
Commonwealth honors at 130 pounds.

and former two-weight world champion ANAHI ESTER “LA INDIECITA” SANCHEZ

lightweight world title.
