Unbeaten super-middleweight star Frank Buglioni says he’ll be on target when he takes on German rival Christian Pawlack for the Vacant WBO European title at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday 30th November.
It’s a tough challenge for the hard-hitting Enfield ace who is undefeated in ten fights with seven knockouts, Pawlack has more experience with 20 wins out of 26 with 11 stoppages and has never been stopped.
“It was a disappointing performance by England and like everyone else I expected better in a showdown against our German rivals even though it was a friendly,” Said Buglioni.
“Apart from Andros Townsend hitting the post, we did not have a shot on target which is pretty poor and with the previous loss to Chile it’s been a pretty horrendous time for the national team,”
“Hopefully I will lift the mood when I take on Pawlack a week on Saturday at the Copper Box Arena. He’s a good tough German fighter and I’m certainly more inspired to put on a hard-hitting performance against him as a bit of payback,”
“It’s a step up for me and I’m looking forward to the challenge. Pawal’s had over double the fights I’ve had and has the experience, but I’m younger, hungrier and ready to win my first title in front of my loyal fans in London.”
