Hometown hero Kyle Williams targets European title
Kyle Williams will hope the hometown roar can push him on to European glory in Wolverhampton tonight.
The Whitmore Reans boxer headlines BCB Promotions’ We Are Wolves show at the Hangar Events Centre.
He faces Spain-based Romanian Ionut Baluta – who has 11 wins from 13 pro outings and has never been stopped – on home turf, with the winner taking away the vacant WBO European bantamweight title.
“I’ve been trying to push for something big and to have that in my hometown again is great,” said the 27-year-old former kickboxing world champion. “I won the English title in Wolverhampton, so it’s a good omen for me. I need this to get myself back on track, because fighting journeymen is not what I’m in the game for. I still believe I can compete at the top level.”
A stacked undercard is expected to produce a host of contests, with most in the home corner Wolverhampton based.
Tickets will be £40 entry on the door.
