Lightweights Zelfa Barrett and Gavin Gwynne are out to secure capital gains when they clash in London on Saturday, November 14th, live on DAZN. Barrett, from Manchester, is 35-3 with four lower-level wins in a row. Gwynne, from Wales, is 19-4-2 overall, including 1-0-1 in his last two bouts, both of which were against undefeated boxers. In 2022, Barrett dropped a vacant 130-pound title bid to Shavkatdzhon Rakhimov. Presented by MF PRO, the OVO Arena Wembley card also features a Commonwealth junior welterweight title clash between unbeaten punchers Yaser Al Ghena and Ben Marksby. Also, featherweights Tom Welland and Jack Dillingham will scrap it out in an English title eliminator. More bouts will be announced soon.
Barrett said: “Gwynne is a decent fighter, but I believe I’m levels above him and will show that November 14th.”
Gwynne said: “I’m really looking forward to this fight; I know Zelfa is a really good fighter, but I really believe this fight is made for me. I love being the underdog going into fights and this fight is no different from any other. I’m coming off a good win and, on a roll, can’t wait to let my hands go!”
Promoter Kalle Sauerland said: “These are the first announcements for what is going to be a massive night of boxing, live on DAZN on November 14th. When you pit two hungry fighters in a domestic showdown, with world title ramifications, you know it will deliver and Barrett vs. Gwynne has all the ingredients to do exactly that. Zelfa is the former world title challenger who has the bit between his teeth, while Gwynne is the Welsh road warrior with a track record of causing major upsets. Throw in a brilliant looking Commonwealth title fight between Al Ghena and Marksby, as well as a guaranteed firefight between Welland and Dillingham, and the fans watching another electric Saturday Fight Night live on DAZN, are going to love this.”
