Tyler to fight for Euro belt in Black Country

Tyler Denny…his biggest fight will take place in Wolverhampton

TYLER Denny will get his chance to lift the European middleweight title on home turf in Wolverhampton on November 18, live on Sky Sports.

And on the same BOXXER show at The Halls – formerly the Civic Hall – explosive light-welter Adam Azim will also bid for European glory in only his 10th bout.

English champion Denny, who has rejuvenated his career with four straight victories, will be hoping to deliver a memorable win for his fans as he takes on Italian Matteo Signani for the European middleweight title.

After nine successive victories, including six explosive stoppages, Azim can strengthen his status as one of the rising stars of the division by attempting to topple two-time Euro king Franck Petitjean.

Azim said: "I am so excited for this fight - fighting for the EBU title in just my 10th fight is massive for me. I'm ready to put on a show and bring that belt home with me on November 18th."

The seasoned Signani, who stopped Anderson Prestot to regain his belt last November, represents the sternest challenge yet for Rowley Regis’ Denny.

"I’m expecting the hardest fight of my career but I’m more than ready and more than capable," said Denny.

"I'm going to have an army of fans with me on fight night and the atmosphere is going to be incredible. I will become European champion on November 18 - that belt is staying in the Midlands!"

Signani said: "I feel very good and I will be stronger than ever for the challenge with Tyler Denny. I respect him and I have to recognise that he's a tough guy for challenging me, but I'm 'The Jaguar', the champion, and I will stay that way for a long time to come."

Ben Shalom, BOXXER CEO, said: “The Tyler Denny story is having another incredible chapter added to it as well. Two years ago we looked at him and saw a boxer who had great potential but who hadn’t had the right opportunities. He’s gone 4-0 with BOXXER, he’s the English middleweight champion and now he’s stepping up for a European title. I honestly can’t wait to see how far Tyler Denny can go and I’m also looking forward to hearing how loud his army of supporters will be on fight night.”
