British and Commonwealth super lightweight champion Jack Rafferty has promised a “demolition job” when he fights Mark Chamberlain in Altrincham on Saturday. <\/p>\n
The 29-year-old from Manchester defends both of his titles against Portsmouth’s Chamberlain in what promises to be an all-action contest. <\/p>\n
“There’ll be a demolition job for sure,” Rafferty told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“I have to do whatever I have to. If the knockout comes then it does – I’m ready and tuned up for this.” <\/p>\n
Rafferty’s past two fights have been big wins in his hometown over Reece MacMillan and Cory O’Regan at the Co-op Live Arena.<\/p>\n
The ‘Demolition Man’, as he is known, boasts a perfect professional record, winning all 26 of his bouts, including 17 stoppages.<\/p>\n
This weekend, he headlines at what will be a packed Planet Ice Arena in Altrincham. <\/p>\n
“I’m massively looking forward to this,” Rafferty added.<\/p>\n
“Three, four fights ago I was still paying for opponents myself and now I’ve signed to Queensberry and am fighting a massive name in a headline show.<\/p>\n
“It’s what dreams are made of and I’ve worked hard for this. It’s going to be amazing and there will be an army for me there – I just need to perform now and that’s what I will be doing.<\/p>\n
“The place is sold out and it’s going to be electric, I’m ready to rock and roll.” <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"British and Commonwealth super lightweight champion Jack Rafferty has promised a “demolition job” when he fights Mark Chamberlain…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":83183,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[41],"tags":[2560,101,56,54,55],"class_list":{"0":"post-83182","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-boxing","8":"tag-boxing","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-unitedkingdom"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83182"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83182\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83183"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
