Tony Randell has the chance to scalp a former Prizefighter champion tonight [October 27].The talented if erratic Birmingham middleweight [pictured right] takes on 2010 super-middleweight champion Patrick Mendy in London in a fight that pitches Tony's sharp, long-armed boxing against the all-action style of the smaller Reading-based Gambian.
Mendy scalped two ex-Midland Area champions, Stourbridge's Sam Horton and Northampton's current English 12st boss Paul David, as well as Southern Area boss Daniel Cadman to take the £32,000 jackpot at York Hall 16 months ago.
Since then, the Jim Evans-managed 21-year-old has beaten-out three points decisions, including one over fading former British title contender Paul Samuels, and will be looking for win 12 in 16 [four defeats, all on points and all in excellent company; Kenny Anderson, Tobias Webb, Jez Wilson and Travis Dickinson].
But Randell, who used his height and brain to shockingly outpoint former world and European title challenger Luca Messi earlier in the year, is a capable Errol Johnson-trained boxer who, when he puts his mind to it and on-point, is a handful for most middleweights on the domestic scene.
The 39-bout [12 wins, four inside, and two draws] has been sparring with Jonjo Finnegan [the British Masters champion who boxes in Nottingham tomorrow] for this and has held both the Midland Area and International Masters straps - scoring sold wins over Max Maxwell and once-touted Kevin Concepcion [both on points in Area title ten-rounders].
"It's a good chance for me and i can show more people what i'm all about," the 29-year-old aspiring fashionasta coolly reasoned.
