Female Money Mayweather Fan Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Sam Eggington is looking for revenge over Evans http://i1.birminghammail.co.uk/incoming/article9230077.ece/ALTERNATES/s615/Sam-Eggington.jpg SAM EGGINGTON will now defend his British and Commonwealth welterweight titles against Dale Evans next weekend [October 17] after his original opponent, Frankie Gavin, suffered an injury. Sam and Frankie were set to meet in an intriguing all-Birmingham clash at the Barclaycard Arena for the straps Gavin used to hold before he vacated, but the 30-year-old injured his foot, ruling him out. Evans, who outpointed Eggington over three rounds in a Prizefighter tournament in 2013, has stepped in and Sam is raring to go. “I’m pleased to still be able to get another notch on the Lonsdale belt and happy to give Dale Evans this opportunity,” he said. “He’s beat me but I was so young when he fought then and it was my first time making the weight or being on television, so it felt like a bit of a whirlwind. “I’m a completely different animal know and Dale will see the difference in there.” It is believed plans are being made to reschedule Eggington-Gavin for December 12 at the O2 Arena in London on a bill headlined by Anthony Joshua-Dillian Whyte, should Sam prevail over Evans.

selij Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Re: Sam Eggington Will Face Dale Evans Instead of Frankie Gavin Cant fault Sam. Staying busy. Had 6 fights last year and on target for 5 this year maybe 6 again. Some of the other slouches in the British divisions should take a leaf out of his book imho.

WelshDevilRob Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Re: Sam Eggington Will Face Dale Evans Instead of Frankie Gavin Dale Evans will give a good account of himself and has been in some cracking fighters. Trained by Gary Lockett, so will be in great shape. Gotta favour the on-for Eggington against my fellow countryman. Should be a good fight.
