wants to &#8216;spoil&#8217; Garner&#8217;s party"},"content":{"rendered":"<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Reece Bellotti says he is coming to &#8220;spoil the party&#8221; when he fights Ryan Garner in Bournemouth on Saturday. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The 34-year-old British and Commonwealth super-featherweight champion will travel down to the south coast and compete for the chance to add Garner&#8217;s blue and gold European strap to his collection. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bellotti has 20 wins and five defeats to his name but since moving up to the 130lbs super-featherweight division he has a perfect six out of six record, picking up his two titles along the way. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;Both of our styles are very similar,&#8221; he told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;It&#8217;s going to be nothing but a great fight in my opinion and I think everyone else agrees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;But absolutely I&#8217;m coming to spot the party, I wouldn&#8217;t be here for anything else.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">Bellotti will step into a packed Bournemouth International Centre where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/sport\/boxing\/articles\/cyveq1j7lqpo\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Garner cruised to a convincing unanimous decision win<\/a> over Salvador Jimenez earlier this year. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">The build-up to their fight so far has been respectful between the two but &#8220;the Bomber&#8221;, as Bellotti is known, has already had a taste of what the atmosphere could be like on fight night. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\"><a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Queensberry\/status\/1927045036396474642\" class=\"ssrcss-k8mrr8-InlineLink e1kn3p7n0\" rel=\"nofollow\">The two faced off in Garner&#8217;s hometown at Southampton&#8217;s St Mary&#8217;s Stadium, external<\/a> a few months ago and Bellotti was on the end of some jeers and boos from fans of &#8220;the Piranha&#8221;. <\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve dealt with these kind of atmospheres already,&#8221; Bellotti added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;I&#8217;ve been on a few away days across Manchester and Liverpool before and I&#8217;m looking forward to the challenge.<\/p>\n<p class=\"ssrcss-1q0x1qg-Paragraph e1jhz7w10\">&#8220;My mindset is that he [Garner] is the toughest opponent by a mile, others might look at someone like Ray Ford, who&#8217;s a world champion, and say he is, but for me Garner is the top one and I&#8217;ve trained accordingly.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Reece Bellotti says he is coming to &#8220;spoil the party&#8221;
