Garnett has won two fights this year to qualify for Saturday’s final and says everything in his career is “clicking into place” at the age of 37.<\/p>\n
Since making his professional debut in 2020, Garnett has won 14 of his 18 professional fights, lost three and drawn one.<\/p>\n
Should he beat Adiguzel, Garnett is targeting around two more years in the sport before retiring from competing.<\/p>\n
Garnett can take inspiration from Manchester’s Dakota Ditcheva, who won the PFL Europe women’s flyweight belt in 2023 before triumphing in the global tournament the following year.<\/p>\n
“It’s easily the biggest fight of my career financially. From a professional standpoint it’s a championship fight so it’s a European title essentially. The biggest moment of my career to date,” adds Garnett.<\/p>\n
“Winning the European title there’s bigger fights for me out there – it potentially sets me up for fighting for the world title.”<\/p>\n
Whether he wins or loses against Adiguzel, who has won nine of his 10 professional fights, Garnett is content with what he has achieved during his career.<\/p>\n
“I’d love to be a good example of someone who is multi-faceted in the sport and achieved things in and out the cage – I’d love to be known for that,” says Garnett.<\/p>\n
“I want to do a lot more than I have but if it all ends tomorrow I can’t fault myself. I’ve committed to the sport, gave it 110% and I’ll continue to do so.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Garnett has won two fights this year to qualify for Saturday’s final and says everything in his career…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":342292,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-342291","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mma","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-fighting","11":"tag-mma","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342291","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=342291"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/342291\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/342292"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=342291"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=342291"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=342291"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
