Our next fight release is an international bout:
Daniel Mcgowan (Petchnoi, Northampton) vs Gery Bavetta (Team Cacciato, Italy)
A fight that has been sought after by many promotions in recent times, this mouth-watering clash featuring two of the most talented bantamweights outside of Thailand will take place at The Main Event on May 23rd.
UK number 1 Mcgowan needs no introduction, having propelled himself towards the top in the past 12 months with some eye-catching displays, during which time he stayed undefeated and took wins over Paolo Da Silva and Spanish Champion Nestor Rodriguez, among others.
In November last year he moved to Thailand to train at the Petchyindee Academy and fought there the following month, winning on points. A former triple junior World champion, Daniel is tipped for the very top by those in the know and boasts a professional record of 19 wins from 21 fights, with 1 draw and only a single defeat.
In the opposite corner on May 23rd will be WBC ranked Gery Bavetta, a veteran of 61 bouts who has fought some of the biggest names around in different weight divisions, including Albert Chey, Amine Kacem and Davy Macintosh.
After losing to Birmingham’s Damien Trainor a few years ago in England, Bavetta spent a lot of time in Thailand rebuilding his career and has fought in the Lumpini stadium and on the King’s Cup, winning on both occasions, in addition to claiming a knockout win over former UK number 1 Paolo Da Silva in 2013.
Bavetta is also currently training in Thailand and is due to compete in a 4-man tournament in a fortnight’s time. A 3 time Italian champion, his record of 47 wins, 13 losses and 1 draw is testament to his ability and he will be looking to add another English scalp to his CV with a win at The Main Event!
This is a fight that has been spoken of for the past 12 months and one we are absolutely thrilled to be hosting!
