Cyrus Pattinson is on a mission to revive his career, and he's set to face Tunde Segun Adeyemi at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle this Saturday. The former top GB amateur boxer had a promising start to his professional career, winning his first six fights and earning a large following.
However, a loss to Conah Walker in 2023 sent him into a downward spiral, leaving him without a promoter, manager, or trainer, and struggling with a severe eye injury that threatened to end his career. Pattinson has since found a new lease on life, training with Billy Nelson in Glasgow and racking up three consecutive wins. He's now focused on his upcoming fight and is eyeing the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles.
"I've been to rock bottom, but I'm back on my feet," Pattinson said. "I've got a good fighter in front of me on Saturday, but I'm confident in my abilities.
I'm a consummate professional, and I know I can compete at the highest level." Pattinson's trainer, Billy Nelson, shares his confidence, saying, "Cyrus has improved dramatically as a fighter. He's a fantastic boxer, and I believe he can challenge for domestic and European titles." With his sights set on the top, Pattinson is ready to put on a show and prove himself as a force to be reckoned with in the welterweight division.
