\"\"<\/a>Matchroom Sport\u2019s hugely popular Prizefighter series returns to the Capital\u2019s home of boxing, the famous York Hall in Bethnal Green, on Saturday 29th October. This time it\u2019s the Featherweights that will get to compete for the coveted Prizefighter trophy and the \u00fa32,000 top prize.<\/p>\n

Throughout it\u2019s history Prizefighter has given novice pros the chance to establish themselves, on national TV, against some of the divisions biggest names. <\/p>\n

Prizefighter – Featherweights is no exception and on the 29th October Belvedere\u2019s exciting youngster \u2018Saint\u2019 George Jupp gets the chance to mix it up with such stalwarts as two time World Champ Choi Tseveenpurev and Irish Super Featherweight Champion Mickey Coveney, as well as unbeaten prospects Lee Glover and Troy James.<\/p>\n

Whilst the aforementioned are the biggest names 20 year old George may have to face in this, the 22nd edition of the popular tournament, he is likely to also receive stiff competition from Liverpool\u2019s Lee Jennings, who\u2019s coming off a first round stoppage win over Chris Truman, and his TRAD TKO gym mate Ian Bailey should he draw either of them on the night.<\/p>\n

George has just four bouts under his belt since he turned pro in May last year. The first, against fellow debutant Peter Barney, see the youngster secure a tidy points victory, as he did in his second outing, against Pavels Senkovs in September.<\/p>\n

In December \u2018Saint\u2019 George again faced Senkovs, this time stopping the tough Mansfield based Latvian after one minute and fifty seconds of the fourth round. His final bout to date see him suffer a controversial narrow points loss to Harrow\u2019s Raffi Khan back in March.<\/p>\n

Following a training session, under the watchful eyes of his manager\/co-trainer Johnny Eames at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym, a beaming George said of the opportunity to participate in Prizefighter. \u201cIt\u2019s a great, great competition, it\u2019s a good chance to show everyone what you are made of.<\/p>\n

I think the format suits me right down to the ground and I\u2019m looking forward to it.<\/p>\n

Whilst obviously I\u2019m gonna be an underdog, as I\u2019m a novice pro, but there\u2019s no one there that bothers me. I\u2019ll just take every fight as it comes and do what I do best, box.<\/p>\n

I know I\u2019m gonna be up against it but I\u2019ll stick to my boxing and hopefully go all the way.\u201d<\/p>\n
