Andy Burton wins WFK world title at 64.5kg

I know I’m a bit late with this post but here it is anyway. Andy Burton went to Lecce, Italy on the 10th November to fight for the WFK world title. We were well looked after from start to finish and after 12 round of kickboxing, Andy has picked up the title (by unanimous point decision), so the whole experience has been first rate for us.

Steve East and I are now looking forward to promoting Andy’s first defence of the WFK title in his home town of Sunderland. Hopefully this will take place on 1st March at the Legends Sports Suite and be recorded for Channel 427 TWCfight, part of the Sky Sports Network.

Obviously, we are looking for an opponent for Andy and I am open to suggestions, though WFK President Dell Mann will have the final say in who steps in with Andy. We are also looking for good matches for the under card so anyone who wishes to take part please contact me by E-mail (paul-grieves@orange.net).

Thanks for reading this post

Samir Mohhamed,(france)
Gary Hamilton,(ireland)
Betrand Fleureut(france i think)
Shaun "boom boom" Burton


i rekon andy would do us proud against samir or gary renowed as the best in the world at this weight, also i think boom boom is defending his european title for the second time so i rekon he would be a good challenger

J

Andy and Shawn have already fought each other more than once, maybe bring the french over and have the 2 Burties fighting one each, get it really international. !!

Well done Andy and all at Spartans, who was it that Andy thought, as that does not look like Deigo Bianco on the photo!

Good look in finding an opponent, i am happy to fight Andy, or anyonelse on the show, but fingers crossed i make a successful defence of my European title this weekend before I can be considered for a world title!

Get in touch with Biggy for matches Paul, had a cracking night out with you guys last time so happy to do it again!

R & R

Shawn

Well done Bertie mate, did Jhono pull over there?????

ok , what does andy do to his hair !!! even in a fight it dont move lol

Dan, Johno never came over with us.

Shawn, good luck with your European defence. That sounds like a good idea to me (your next title defence being an eliminator for a shot at Andy). Of course that's up to WFK but I'm happy with it.

We're also on the look out for an opponent for Jamie Moore for the vacant EFK British title. He is 7-1-0. Would big Nige be available? Anyone else from your camp fancy a dodge up for a match?

Greevo

What weight is Jamie Paul??

Usually he's around 100kg mate, give or take a kilo.

Like I say speak to Biggy, but we have Naughty Nige around that weight, hes improving all the time, got his first title fight next weekend, so could be do able?

well done to andy, nice to travel an bring home a title good on ya, whats your fight record now, or paul if andy aint on?

what about ricky glover ukcba wka commonwealth champion we could probarly push him up to 64kgs, ukcba@lineone.net

I would be the first to buy a ticket for that one, would be a cracker that steve!

I am fighting Ricky in Feb i think!

Hi Locky

Thanks for the congrats. Burty's record:

18 pints of snakebite, 2 bottles of red wine and 6 double JD's (in one sitting!!!) LOL

Roughly (cos I'm not EXACTLY sure) Kickboxing: 15W, 3L, 0D - Boxing: 10W, 3L

To all else

The issue of who Burty fights next is resolved (almost!). WKF are making Shawn's next bout (Shawn "Boom Boom" Burton v Flavien Albe France - Friday 1st December, Newark) an official world title eliminator, so we'll know by Friday night who's coming to Sunderland.

Just to remind everyone, we're looking for a heavyweight for Jamie Moore (100kg, 7W, 1L, 0D) for the vacant EFK British title. The date is (probably) 1st March 2008, the venue Legends, Sunderland

Shawn

Please get a face to face picture of yourself and Flavien and e-mail it to me. I'm going to put a press release in our local Echo tomorrow and I'd really appreciate the picture. Good luck with the bout mate.

paul-grieves@orange.net

I'm reliably informed by Jamie's instructor Steve East, that his record is in fact 9W, 1L, 0D

Sorry Jamie!!!

Greevo,

If the show is half as good as last time , you are onto a winner, c u weds m8.

Respect Leif

Leif

Anyone in particular you'd like to fight FC at our show? I'll do my best to make it happen.

Thanks

Paul

lol, Greevo think we have been there. lol.

I am due to have my 1st thai no shins fight in the new year so depends on date of that as to if my legs will be up to it. Will let us know soon as but well we know the score, wrong age, wrong weight etc. etc.

would like to see Aaron Robinson fight any 1 ranked in welterweight he is on fire at the moment and would never turn a fight down ! infact any 1 from lincoln so we can all come up and ave a few jars and weekend away !!!! but Aaron deffo he is a crowd pleaser and does deserve a shot at some of the big boys in that divison!!!

WFK World title - it's Burton V Burton

I've had confirmation from Dell Man that Shawn retains his title and also status as number 1 contender. The match will happen in Sunderland on 1st March.

Shawn, I've sent our local press an E-mail about this and I've copied you into the mail.

I'll give Big Dave a ring tomorrow night to talk about arrangements for you coming up the day before for the weigh-in etc.

Meanwhile, how about Aaron Robinson V Michael Johnson? 5 round pro fight?

Cheers

Greevo

Sorry ive been a bit quiet with the posts re the next EFC show as ive just returned from me hols. With ref to Jamie Moore ,he generally weighs in at around 100kg, he currently holds the WUMA European as well as the British , In Feb he won the WACKO British and also holds the WACKO Pro North East title . His fight record stands at 9-1 . Our last EFC show in June this year had around 800 spectators and some cracking bouts with Burty retaining his Wuma world title as well as Jamie retaining his European .

Steve

Greevo or Steve,

I know dad is already getting bookings for 2008 so if you want him you need to get the date in. I know he loved the June show, we all did !!

Thats great Paul, really looking foward to it, my training will start on new years day for this so that is 2months intentsive training whihc is what i will need at the very least!

thanks for matching that up!!

Aaron and Robbie is a good fight to, so happy with that, would prefer 8 rounds but will leave that for you and Dave to sort!!

The guys at Newark have the pics so when i get them i will hook you up!

Ok Leif , il phone your dad today , good luck for Wed.

Thanks Steve,

Are you coming on weds ??

Not sure yet Leif.

the fight between me and shawn boom boom to be place because the 1decembre he knows nothing crossed(spent). It is a sports frustration for me and I think that our fight could be interesting to have the luck(chance) to meet the world titleholder.
My sports respect in all!

Hi Flavien, not really too sure what your post ment, but I take it you want to fight me again?? More than happy to do it mate, i am sure it would have been a great fight but for the unfortunate clash of heads, which cost you a chance at a crack at my title, no problem with coming over to France for the fight either if you can get it matched??

Over to you now mate!

Shawn

Hello shawn
I hope that your wound go better
kept silent about the video of our fight?
Are kept silent sure that it is a shock of head?
SEE YOU

what do you mean kept silent?? I have not seen the dvd yet!
cut is alot better thanks, not sparred since, but will be doing in the new year!

I don 't speak english and i used a traductor (kept silent isn't my traduction)
the question is
are you sure that is a clash of heads?
Bye

100% sure mate!

DEEPLY THE DVD!

Flavien, try http://babelfish.altavista.com/ for transduction.

'Cos your transductor is flocking sheet. :-)

LOL Jon C!

In fairness to Shaun Flavien, he doesn't duck anyone and never makes any excuses so i'm sure he's telling the truth and will happily oblige you with a rematch as soon as time and logistics permit.

will have to after our may show (the 3rd i think) as i am fighting Andy in March, Jason Vassello in April and then a potential superfight in May!

Mr Burton, I thought they were super fights?

Ps I hear we may be matched against one of your guys in Feb?

Been a long time since we have battled the Lincoln heartbreakers!!

Yeah Boom Boom vs Jason Vasello should be a cracker! Also absolutely itching to see you vs B Shaun. Whats more super than those?? Fill us in?

Super?..... you did ask....They are letting all the birds he's ever done the dirty on get in the ring with him at the same time, it will be held in a super ring at wembley stadium!

Oh.... and LOL at JonC classic

As soon as Big Daves gives me the nod I will let you all know, but I assure you its well worth the wait!

Lets hear your guesses???

mohamed samir?

I wish, nope an English guy!

Nick Gill?

nope, my weight!

Shawn?

English guy your weight? There is only Barinder and Andy Burton in England who we want to see you fight.

Get someone to match you with Mohamed Samir!!. Or Gary Hamilton (if he fights full contact again). Thats a super fight!!

Get Paul to make the match for pain and glory as I assume that is what youre hinting at.

Lets start another thread, have not seen one yet, full cotact dream fights for 2008.

oooh its like a game of guess who.... does he have a moustache? a hat? is it a man?

We guessing who he is goig to fight. Not who he will wake up with!!

haha plans are in process for our next show in May!

Give me a call about that show and we might be able to support you.

Got to be the Killa B? Is anyone else at that weight a superfight at this stage? Aren't you fighting Andy in Mar anyway?

nope had a chat with Jag and Bee is going to be one of my sparring partners int he new year!

So what your saying is thet you and B aint fighting next year now?

Thats not what i've been hearing!

Oh i dnt know, i will still be happy to fight him after i have been sparring with him!

Oh i dnt know, i will still be happy to fight him after i have been sparring with him!

Its got to happen Shawn, been going on too long. Next year could be the best yet in the 64k division.

Qasim could still end up there 2008/9, as could Ronnie Clark, and Ricky Glover. That would make things really good fun.

Also be interesting to see what Jason Vassillo can do at this weight.

Also Marty Cox Jr

I was thinking of him then for some reason thought he was 67kg. Is that the match? Whatever happened to that ISKA World Title fight he was supposed to be having did it happen? Ive heard he's awesome would love to see him fight.

How would the rankings look with the addition of his name to them?

Ability wise he should go in at number 1, but not been active for a long time, he is fighting for ISKA world title in March and i fight the winner!

What really really? Thats mint congratulations mate!

Hi , just to confirm the second title fight we have for the March 1st EFC will be Jamie Moore v Rob Gledhill for the vacant WFK British Superheavyweight title .Should be a good n .

Rob Gleadhill much improved. He is a Big Lad but can move like a Middle weight. He totally destroyed Kevin Smiles last time out.

What a show!

Do you need any fighters?

Email me dean@newarkmartialarts.co.uk

Thanks

Dean

Thanks Dean ,
Paul or Myself will be in touch .

all the best .

Steve

Hey Shawn

I would like to see a fight between u and Alexander White.
Don't think it'll ever happen though because of the WKN n all that.
Would be a great fight but !

Would your super fight by any chance be .... Ricky Glover.
Only 1 i can think of that has not already been sayed lol.

Dean

What stats do you have of alexs? if fight offered we will consider with interest!

nah not fighting Ricky Glover lol

He is WKN Pro British Champion. Trains in Rivals Gym. Not sure about his record but think he has only been beaten 3 times. Fought Julien Moyen from France for the WKN European in November. Normally fights at 62 but could fight at any weight between 62-65.

Thats all i really know m8. Hope has gave u some help.

"Deadly" Dean Ford

he sounds good, lets get it on, always fancied a weekend on the pop in Scotland!

he lost 4th\5th round stoppage.. julian looked mustard in that fight.. think alexander has had about 40 fights..

It was a 7th round stoppage. Julien was fantastic, so fit and conditioned.
