2012 U.K. Olympic Bronze medalist Anthony Ogogo (6-0, 3 KOs) shoots for his seventh professional victory this Saturday at the Echo Arena in Liverpool when he faces off with Sheffield southpaw Wayne Reed (10-8, 5 KOs) in a six-round middleweight bout on the Tony Bellew vs. Julio Cesar Dos Santos undercard.
The matchup is the unbeaten Lowestoft native’s third of 2014, and it comes on the heels of his first win in Las Vegas, where he stopped Jonel Tapia in the third round on May 3.
“I’m really excited to be back in the ring and I can’t wait until Saturday night” said the 25-year-old Ogogo. “Fighting in Las Vegas was a fantastic experience and it’s great to be fighting back in Britain with my home support in Liverpool.”
“In every one of Anthony’s fights — most notably his May win in Vegas — he has showed the poise and power necessary to get a title shot and be a world champion,” said Oscar De La Hoya, president of Golden Boy Promotions. “Anthony delivers each and every time he steps in the ring, and I expect another great performance out of him this weekend.”
Ogogo vs. Reed will air on Sky Sports at 7pm British time on Saturday, July 12.
