The_budweiser Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 There will be added incentive for Queensberry Promotions’ two Cruiserweight champions, Leon Williams and Tony Conquest, when they go head to head in what is set to be an all-out war at York Hall on 13th January, with Francis and George Warren looking to get the winner in contention for a European title shot at some point down the line. The contest will see British Champion Williams, defend his title against Southern Area champion Conquest, at the spiritual home of British boxing, in what is quickly turning into a huge grudge match. The fans at home will also get the chance to watch the showdown live and exclusive on the BoxNation(Sky 456, Virgin 546). Former friends ,Williams and Conquest, have fallen out in spectacular style in recent weeks following a string of stinging press statements directed towards each other, and neither will be willing to settle for a loss in the huge domestic contest. Whilst Francis Warren believes the winner of the contest will firmly put themselves in line to progress and start competing at European level. He said, “Like any promoter, my brother and I are in the game to try and help create champions; British, European and it’s of course ultimately our intention to create World Champions. We’ve been fortunate enough to help Leon become a British champion in our only our second show, but the goal has to be always to develop and take the next step. So we’ve pitted our two champions against each other, not only to create a great competitive 50:50 match up for the fans, but also to see who’s ready to start looking at making a step up to European level at some point next year.” Read More: http://ringnews24.com//index.php/boxing-news/32035-warren-brothers-looking-to-the-next-level-for-williams-v-conquest-winner.html#ixzz1h5m7xD96 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brooklynbrawler Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Should be a decent matchup, Conquest looked quite decent last time out against Toks Owoh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irondave85 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Cracking little domestic match-up. Despite the stinkaroo against Norton - who let's face it, NO-ONE looks good against - I think Williams has the kind of style that will be involved in a lot of fan friendly fights and, as BB said, Conquest looked fairly useful against Owoh.

Joe Ko Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 I think winner should fight Matty Askin, like Scott Quigg he has been fighting some decent imports that have given in a ranking in the governing bodies and likely tougher than domestic level fighters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meathead Posted December 22, 2011 Share Posted December 22, 2011 Really looking forward to this. This is the kind of fight that the diehards know about and sadly it doesnt get the publicity it should do. Should be a cracking fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
