Southampton’s own Ryan Garner will headline a huge night of boxing in his home city. In this Ryan Garner world title clash, he faces Italy’s Michael Magnesi for the WBC interim world super featherweight title.
Ryan Garner’s Rise Through the Ranks
Garner has enjoyed an impressive rise through the ranks and has established himself as one of Britain’s standout fighters at 130lbs. The unbeaten Southampton fighter has already captured British, Commonwealth and European honours during a successful professional career.
Among Garner’s most notable victories are wins over Archie Sharp and Reece Bellotti. Furthermore, his clash with Bellotti proved to be a career-defining performance. Garner stopped the former British champion in the 12th round after an action-packed contest.
Michael Magnesi Stands in the Way
However, experienced Italian contender Michael Magnesi now stands in Garner’s way. Magnesi enters the fight with a record of 26 wins and just two defeats. One of those losses was a closely contested split-decision defeat to Anthony Cacace in 2022.
With a world title opportunity on the line and the backing of his hometown crowd, Garner now has the chance to take the biggest step of his career on a major night in Southampton.
In addition, the event promises to be a strong card. Brad Pauls will also feature, while Lewis Edmondson takes on Lyndon Arthur.
