Cyrus Pattinson is making a comeback in the boxing world after facing numerous challenges, including a severe eye injury and a tough loss to Conah Walker. The welterweight fighter was once a top amateur boxer, just one win away from qualifying for the 2016 Olympic Games. After turning pro in 2021, Pattinson won his first six fights, earning a large fanbase and proving himself to be a top ticket seller in the North East.
However, his career took a hit after being stopped by Walker in 2023, leaving him without a promoter, manager, or trainer. Pattinson has since found a new home at Billy Nelson's gym in Glasgow and has won three consecutive fights. He is now set to face Tunde Segun Adeyemi at the Vertu Motors Arena in Newcastle on Saturday.
Pattinson's loss to Walker has been put into perspective, as Walker has gone on to excel in the welterweight division, recently knocking out Olympic silver medallist Pat McCormack. Pattinson believes he is capable of beating anyone and is targeting the British and Commonwealth welterweight titles after his next fight. His trainer, Billy Nelson, is confident in Pattinson's abilities, stating that he has improved significantly as a fighter and is ready to compete at the domestic level. Pattinson remains focused on his upcoming fight, but is eager to challenge for titles and prove himself as a top fighter in the welterweight division.
