Cyrus Pattinson is staging a comeback from a difficult period in his life as he prepares to step into the ring in Newcastle this Saturday. A former top amateur boxer, Pattinson was on the cusp of qualifying for the 2016 Olympics before turning pro in 2021.
He won his first six fights, establishing himself as a fan favorite in the North East. However, a loss to Conah Walker in 2023 marked a low point in his career, leaving him without a promoter, manager, or trainer, and struggling with a severe eye injury. Pattinson has since found a new lease on life training with Billy Nelson in Glasgow, and after three consecutive wins, he is set to face Tunde Segun Adeyemi at the Vertu Motors Arena. With his sights set on the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles, Pattinson is determined to prove himself as a force to be reckoned with in the boxing world.
His trainer, Billy Nelson, believes Pattinson has the potential to compete at the domestic and European levels, and the fighter himself is confident in his ability to overcome any challenge. Having overcome his personal struggles, including a battle with depression, Pattinson is now focused on his craft and ready to take on the best in the welterweight division.
