Prizefighter Set for May 7th
The line-up for “Prizefighter: International Heavyweights,” the 18th edition of Matchroom Sport’s eight-man, one night tournament at London’s Alexandra Palace on May 7 is now complete with former WBC cruiserweight champion and heavyweight contender Juan Carlos Gomez, who will join former Prizefighter winner Michael Sprott, Kevin ‘Kingpin’ Johnson, unbeaten Mike Perez, Fres Oquendo, 6’8 Tye Fields, Gregory Tony and Konstantin Airich.
The British Boxing Board of Control have passed a proposed rule change for reserves in Prizefighter. Now should a winning boxer in Prizefighter fail to pass a medical to progress to the next stage, the losing fighter can go through in their place subject to the Board’s medical offices clearing them to do so.
