In an all-Australian junior welterweight bout, Stanthorpe's Chris Brackin will battle Brisbane's Kyle Freiberg on March 14th. Brackin the former amateur star, has a perfect record of eight fights, eight wins. Brackin said, "With reward comes risk and no doubt Kyle Freiberg is the biggest test of my career but I feel I'm ready to step up." Freiberg will travel to Toowoomba to spoil the party. Like Brackin he is one of the young guns leading the next generation of fighters coming through the Queensland ranks. Freiberg is 5-1 and is coming off his lone loss, a majority decision against Shiva Mishra. 

 

"I'm confident in my preparation, so to me it doesn't matter where I'm fighting or who, I'm there to get the job done and I will get the job done," Freiberg said. "It's a big fight, I'm not a trash talker and always have respect for my opponent. He will be putting in the hard work to win I'm sure. Everyone will have to buy a ticket and come watch a great fight to find out how it plays out."  

 

This one promises to be a fans fight. Both fighters have a big following and passionate supporters. "Styles make fights and Chris Brackin and Kyle Freiberg make for an all action, fast and furious fight," promoter Brendon Smith said. "Both fighters deserve this title shot, March 14 we find out who will seize the opportunity. This is a clash between two of the best young prospects in the country."
