Cyrus Pattinson is making a comeback from a difficult period in his career, as he prepares to fight in Newcastle this Saturday. A former top GB amateur boxer, Pattinson was close to qualifying for the 2016 Olympics. He turned pro in 2021, winning his first six fights and gaining a significant following in the North East.
However, he suffered a setback with a loss to Conah Walker in 2023, which left him without a promoter, manager, or trainer, and struggling with a severe eye injury. Pattinson has spoken about hitting 'rock bottom' and struggling with depression, but has since found a new trainer in Billy Nelson and has won three consecutive fights.
He now faces Tunde Segun Adeyemi on Saturday and is looking to continue his resurgence. Pattinson's goal is to target the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles after his next fight, with his trainer believing he can compete at a domestic level.
Pattinson is focused on his upcoming fight but is confident in his ability to win and is open to any opportunities that come his way.
