They first trained side by side at a gym near London Bridge, then later at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town.<\/p>\n<p>It was following yet another full on sparring session, at Johnny Eames\u2019 famous fight factory, that Darren spoke of Marianne\u2019s debut fight as well as his disappointment that he would not be ringside when she fights on July 5th.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was there ringside when Marianne fought in April and I think it was a spectacular debut for the \u2018Golden Girl\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say I wasn\u2019t really surprised, Marianne was really ready for that fight.<br \/>\nShe\u2019s always in the gym and her coach Barry (Smith) pushes her as hard as any of the guys here at the TRAD TKO Gym.<\/p>\n<p>Marianne may be the only girl that trains here full time, but she doesn\u2019t get treated any differently than any of the guys, she wouldn\u2019t have it any other way, she\u2019s a boxer, a true warrior.<\/p>\n<p>I watched Marianne sparring Angel McKenzie the week before her fight. She made sparring look easy, even against someone that is very experienced, I mean Angel\u2019s a couple of weights heavier and has fought for World titles, I say fought but of course she is fighting for the World title on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>Marianne earned her win the hard way, she trained hard, sparred hard and it showed the way she fought, I mean she stopped the other girl in the first round, which is proof in the pudding.<\/p>\n<p>She\u2019s been in the gym since the Monday after her fight, preparing for this next fight, even though she didn\u2019t know when it would be, or even who against, so she\u2019s going to be even more prepared for whoever she faces on the 5th July.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately I can\u2019t be there when she fights on the 5th July at York Hall, as I\u2019m defending my title on the 6th in Liverpool, but I\u2019ll be there in spirit cheering the \u2018Golden Girl\u2019 to victory once again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Darren Hamilton defends his British Light Welterweight crown against Adil Anwar, at the Echo Arena in Liverpool on Saturday 6th July 2013, which will be broadcast live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Channel 437 and Virgin Channel 546), Tickets, priced \u00a335, \u00a350, \u00a380 and Ringside \u00a3180 are available on-line from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frankmaloney.com\/\">www.frankmaloney.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Marianne Marston versus Karina Kopinska will feature on the Dave Murphy, in association with Acourtier Events, promoted \u2018Independence Day\u2019 event, headlined by the historic Jennifer Retzke versus Angel McKenzie GBC Light Middleweight World title clash, at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Friday, 5th July 2013<\/p>\n<p>Tickets, priced \u00a365 (Ringside), \u00a335 (Floor) and \u00a330 (Balcony) are available on-line at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkoboxoffice.com\/\">www.tkoboxoffice.com<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.acourtier.com\/\">www.acourtier.com<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariannemarston.com\/\">www.mariannemarston.com<\/a> or in person at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, London E16 4SA &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tkoboxinggym.com\/\">www.tkoboxinggym.com<\/a> &#8211; or the Ringtone Gym in Euston, London NW1 2PB &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ringtonehealthandfitness.com\/\">www.ringtonehealthandfitness.com<\/a> &#8211; Tel: 07960 850645 or 07557 641597 for further information.<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mariannemarston.com\/\">www.mariannemarston.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Twitter: @MarianneMarston<\/p>\n<p>Facebook: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/marianne.marston\">www.facebook.com\/marianne.marston<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.newzbreaker.com\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-19486\" title=\"NEWZBREAKER-BANNER\" src=\"http:\/\/ringsidereport.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/NEWZBREAKER-BANNER.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"100\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woolwich, South London\u2019s Marianne Marston will be back in action at York Hall this coming Friday, where she faces Karina Kopinska on the Dave Murphy, in association with Acourtier events, \u2018Independence Day\u2019 event.
