Denzel Bentley, the former British middleweight title champion, born and raised in London has a very tough match up against Linus Udofia in Friday night’s main event at the O2 Arena.
The London boxer, 27, knows he has work to do against Udofia for the vacant British middleweight title in two days
time. Bentley must put in his practice through training so that he is in peak condition to adjust to Udofia’s strengths.
Denzel ‘2Sharp’ Bentley
Bentley, has a record of 15-1-1 in his professional career, with his only defeat coming against Felix Cash, by TKO in the third round back in June 2021. It was in that fight that Bentley lost the same belt he will be fighting for on Friday, live on Channel 5.
Bentley quickly got back to winning ways though, defeating Sam Evans in April in Birmingham, also with a third round TKO.
The belt has become vacant again due to Cash upgrading himself to WBC international middleweight champion, by defeating Magomed Madiev at Ally Pally in February.
Linus ‘Lightning’ Udofia
Bentley’s opponent on Friday night, Udofia, goes into the bout with an undefeated record. The Nigerian-born boxer, residing in Luton, has a record of 17-0 with nine knockouts.
The 28-year-old, whose last fight came in October and resulted in a third round TKO win over the Albanian, will be eager to upset the favourite on Friday.
