Brown vs. Hedges date revealed.
It can be argued that Pat Brown (6-0, 6 KOs) is the most exciting British cruiserweight in the world. A former Olympian, the Manchester man possesses the type of power that instantly endears a fighter to fans.
As a result of his amateur pedigree, he has been moved quickly as a professional. As a result, we have a pretty good idea as to how skilled he really is.
However, after overcoming every challenge put in front of him, it’s time he was put in the sort of fight that really asks questions regarding both his character and ability.
In John Hedges (12-0, 3 KOs), he will have such a fight.
Where Brown is a power-punching menace with technical ability, Hedges is purely a tactician, a 6’6″ southpaw who represents a unique style at the weight.
Having won the English title against Ellis Zorro, Hedges has established his domestic presence and will provide Brown with his most curious test to date.
While the matchup itself is confirmed to be taking place, there was no information regarding the date or location for quite a while. In fact, there still hasn’t been an official announcement in the way of those aspects.
However, in the latest British Boxing Board of Control circular, information revealing a date of the 19th of September in Manchester has been revealed.
In addition, it is stated that the winner of the contest is to “waive grace and defend against Cheavon Clarke when called upon to do so.”
The fascinating clash between Brown and Hedges will be contested for the British title, and whoever happens to emerge victorious will have a very interesting path ahead of them in terms of what their next plans are to be.
