Boxing News: Josh Kelly’s remarkable victory over Troy Williamson for the British title last week helped him put his painful loss to David Avanesyan behind him.
Kelly, an Olympian from 2016, outscored Williamson in their North East derby at the Newcastle Arena, displaying his talent and heart.
Kelly is now eligible for further thrilling fights. Sam Gilley seeks a fight with the British champion after successfully defending the English super-welterweight crown in November.
Another intriguing matchup would be Kelly vs. Florian Marku.
In an interview with Sky Sports, Kelly’s promoter Kalle Sauerland said, “I’ve clearly heard the name Sam Gilley before.
Definitely a fight we’d consider. There have been a couple of rows recently. Florian Marku: I’d want a small portion of that.
It’s a great fight that would draw a large crowd.
Ben Shalom, who supports Marku, is aware that a competition including the “Albanian King” would be a major occasion.
“Florian Marku wants to fight Josh Kelly in that matchup. The important matches for Florian will be against Chris Kongo or Josh Kelly, Shalom previously stated to Sky Sports.
“I believe he has reached the point where he wants the big fights right now, and since he is such a character, [he] just commands large numbers online, huge numbers on TV, and tremendous numbers in the arenas, which is all you can want of a boxer, in my opinion.
He has some big nights ahead of him because people will want to share the ring with Florian Marku. Such an intriguing fighter to watch. They do so because they anticipate a large audience and a significant occasion was given the persona he is.
“To me, Florian’s battles against Josh Kelly and Chris Kongo are significant matches.”
