This Friday Frank Buglioni headlines a championship packed show at the historic SSE Arena, Wembley. Buglioni (16-1-1 12 KO’s) fights Mexican Fernando Castaneda (23-9 14 KO’s) for the Vacant WBA Intercontinental Super-Middleweight title.
Buglioni was meant to face WBA World champion Fedor Chudinov. However, this has been put on hold after the Russian broke his nose in sparring, delaying the fight – the fight will now takes place in the Autumn, if, he can defeat the Mexican.
After a change of opponent, Buglioni spoke about his new rival:
“This is a crucial fight for me and I know that I have to perform in style and win”
“Whilst it’s disappointing that it’s not Chudinov in front of me, Castaneda is a game, strong, fighter and I believe he’s also done plenty of sparring with Saul Alavarez, so he’ll know his way around the ring.
“Of course being a Mexican he’s going to be a tough opponent and will take some wearing down, but I’ve trained hard for Chudinov and I’ve got to take out all my built up frustration on someone so Castaneda is going to get it.
“He’s the final hurdle I have to overcome until I get to Chudinov later this year. I’m looking to put on a professional performance and come through victorious and then focus on Chudinov.”
