David Adeleye and Jeamie Tshikeva are getting ready to fight for the BBBofC heavyweight title this Saturday. The bout will take place at Co-op Live in Manchester, UK, and fans can watch it on DAZN starting at 19:00 local time.
Adeleye, a 28-year-old boxer with Nigerian roots, has a strong record of 13 wins and only 1 loss, with 12 of those wins coming by knockout. He's coming off a first-round victory against Salomon Dacres at Wembley last December. This win helped him bounce back from his only loss, which came in October 2023 when Fabio Wardley knocked him out in his first attempt at the BBBofC heavyweight title.
Adam Booth trains Adeleye, who's known for putting strong pressure on his opponents and finishing fights quickly. He's been working on improving his technique, defence, and mobility in the ring.
On the other side of the ring, we have Jeamie Tshikeva. At 31, Tshikeva turned pro in 2022 and has racked up 8 wins and 1 loss, with 5 knockouts. He's currently ranked 16th in his country. Before going pro, Tshikeva had a solid amateur career with 29 wins and 11 losses.
Tshikeva relies on a solid jab to keep his distance and also knows how to put pressure on his opponents. This fight could be his last chance to appear on big cards, so he'll be giving it his all.
"I'm ready to show what I can do," Tshikeva said in a recent interview. "This is a big opportunity for me, and I'm not going to let it slip away."
The main event isn't the only title fight on the card. Fans will also get to see a bout for the Commonwealth Boxing Council super lightweight title, making for an action-packed evening of boxing.
Both fighters have been putting in hard work at their training camps, and they're eager to prove themselves in the ring. With Adeleye's knockout power and Tshikeva's solid jab, this bout promises to be an exciting clash of styles.
"I've learned a lot from my last title fight," Adeleye commented. "I'm coming back stronger and smarter. Tshikeva's a tough opponent, but I'm ready for whatever he brings."
As fight night approaches, both boxers are focused on their final preparations. They know what's at stake, and they're determined to leave everything in the ring. Boxing fans won't want to miss this showdown for the BBBofC heavyweight title.
