WBSS annouces Scottish double header for the SSE Arena on Nov 3 as season 2 comes to the UK with the Bantamweight quarter finals of Ryan Burnett and Josh Taylor both in action and both vying to take home the Ali Trophy plus a whole host of championship belts and be crowned either World Boxing Super Series bantamweight or super-lightweight champ respectively.
Belfast’s Ryan Burnett will face filipino Nonito Donaire in his quarter final whilst Edinburgh’s Josh Taylor takes on Yank Ryan Martin.
“Donaire is a great fighter,” said Burnett. “I have always admired him, but now I must prepare to beat him. I am someone who wants to prove I am the best by beating the best. The WBSS has given me the opportunity to achieve that dream.”
“I cannot wait for November 3rd in Glasgow,” said Taylor. “I’m delighted to be boxing in Scotland in front of my home fans. On November 3rd, the Scots will get to see the World Boxing Super Series show come to town and I will put on a winning performance to keep them singing.”
“My team and I believe I can win the Muhammad Ali Trophy and both World Title belts and the first step on that journey is in Glasgow against Ryan Martin. I will be ready.”
Comosa CBO Kalle Sauerland told DAILY SPORT Boxing”There are some big UK boxing nights in 2018 but this doubleheader has so much depth and quality. It’s what the WBSS is all about.”
