Billy Beard vs Chris O’Connell ⭐️
It is time to announce our second title fight for our anniversary show on August 15th! Our 93kg champion Billy Beard will be making the first defence of his title that he won in March against Chris O’Connell, who is fast making a name for himself on the circuit.
Anyone who has seen Billy on his day knows he is capable of a fantastic fight, with good movement and grit to push through challenge after challenge. He won the title in March after turning in a solid shift, scoring the shots he needed to and coming home with the decision win after a hard fought battle and earning the right to be king of the castle. In August, we have no doubt he’s going to want to keep a hold of that belt.
Standing opposite will be Chris O’Connell. This will be Chris’ first title fight, but no doubt the team at will well and truly prepare him adequately. He recently won with a great stoppage on our last show and called for the title shot following, and after that performance he couldn’t be denied!
We are so thankful to everyone involved in getting this title fight over the line! Both guys want to take home the belt, but only one can do it over 5 rounds on the 15th. Who do you think takes the win? 🧨
