Abass Barou and Sam Eggington’s European junior middleweight title showdown is too close to call. The rivals are scheduled clash on March 1st, at Telford, England's International Centre, live and free-to-air on Channel 5 in the UK. The official fight odds, brought to you by Ladbrokes, reflect the excitement around this Euro showdown, with the oddsmakers unable to split Barou and Eggington. Baraou and Eggington are both 10/11, with a draw listed at 18/1. Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: "It's not often our traders are left sitting on the fence, but that's absolutely the case when it comes to splitting Eggington and Baraou."

 

He added: "We're anticipating the local lad to head into the ring with the majority of punters' backing; while his record suggests he's had his ups and downs, Eggington always puts on a show." Jack Culcay was no doubt Baraou's toughest fight to date and, despite losing that clash in Germany, he heads to Telford on a five-fight winning streak, something our number crunchers are obviously conscious of."

 

The Wasserman Boxing show, delivered in association with Numan and Infinitum, also sees the return of heavyweight Matty Harris and the latest fight for two British hopefuls, Dan Toward and Tom Welland. A tasty looking Southern Area super middleweight title fight between Andrei Dascalu and Joe Jackson-Brown also forms part of the undercard in Telford.
