LEE SELBY READY FOR HIS MOMENT OF TRUTH!
Lee Selby's crack at the big time comes on the bumper 31st May PPV card put on by Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn. Selby 20-1 (8 KO's) will be stepping in to the ring with IBF Featherweight champion, the unbeaten Russian Evgeny Gradovich 19-0-1 (9 KO's).
The Welshman is looking to make a statement on the world scene by getting a decisive victory over the come forward pressure fighter. "I dont think I'll struggle at all, I think I'll win convincingly. Similar to my last fight, I'll probably outclass him with the boxing and then a late stoppage." said the 'Welsh Mayweather'.
"He's similar to my last opponents, just a little, tiny bit better in class. He's just a little step up from Brunker. He throws a little bit of a harder shot, a few more punches, a little bt more aggressive, more pressure - but not a massive step up."
With a big domestic fight being touted with Josh Warrington if he is to claim a World title in the thriving Featherweight division, this is a hugely significant fight for the Barry stylist. I fully expect Selby to be crowned Featherweight champion of the world with a dominant performance that anounces him as one of Britains premier fighters.
