Yassine El Maachi – Watch Me, I’m Going To Be So Good In Prizefighter
For the past year or so International Masters Light Middleweight Champion
Yassine El Maachi has stated his dream is to compete in the top rated
Matchroom Sports promoted Prizefighter series.
El Maachi, and his promoter Steve Goodwin, believe the tournament format
would be the perfect platform to showcase El Maachi, and his sensational
all action fighting style, as he strives to break into the lucrative World
Championship circuit.
It now seems that El Maachi gets his wish, as he was recently named as one
of the eight contestants for the Sky Sports televised Prizefighter –
Welterweights II, which takes place at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London
on Tuesday 7th June 2011.
El Maachi, who is currently ranked #46 in the World, joins a star studded
line up that includes former WBC World Light Welterweight Champion Junior
Witter, former IBO World Light Welterweight Champion Colin Lynes, former
British Welterweight Champion Kevin McIntyre, former Southern Area Light
Welterweight Champion and WBF International title challenger Peter
McDonagh, former International Masters Welterweight Challenger Nathan
Graham as well as unbeaten young prospects John Wayne Hibbert and Bobby
Gladman.
Earlier today El Maachi spoke briefly of his upcoming appearance on
Prizefighter – Welterweights II, “I would love to get Junior Witter the
first fight, Colin Lynes the second fight then the third fight would be
nice and easy for me. That’s my plan, me and my trainer Don Charles and
Kevin Murray, that’s what we are trying to do.
Hopefully if it goes like this I would love to but it doesn’t matter which
way the draw goes I’m ready for it. I’m coming there with two hands, two
legs and like a Tiger, or more like a Cheetah as I’m so fast, good things,
oh God watch me, I’m going to be so good in the Prizefighter.”
Prizefighter – Welterweights II, featuring Yassine El Maachi, Colin Lynes,
Junior Witter, Kevin McIntyre, John Wayne Hibbert, Bobby Gladman, Nathan
