Kremner fired up for Ultimate Boxxer challenge

Andy Kremner is convinced he will be the last man standing at the end of the Ultimate Boxxer tournament

Andy Kremner is convinced he will be the last man standing after boxing's exciting new crash, bang, wallop tournament comes to Manchester later this month.

The 'Ultimate Boxxer' competition at the Manchester Arena on Friday, April 27, offers prize money of £50,000 - and the chance to become boxing's new star.

Celebrities will be at ringside and big music acts will perform on a night when eight unbeaten fighters go toe-to-toe over three-round fights in front of millions of internet fight fans.

The winner of three, three-round fights will win the top prize, and Delph-based welterweight prospect Kremner said: "I have been waiting to get a break like this and now it's here I'm going to take my chance.

"'Ultimate Boxxer' looks like it's going to be fast, explosive and exciting - and that suits me down to the ground.

"As soon as it was mentioned, we said: 'Yes' straightaway.

"Three-round fights definitely suit me and I really fancy my chances if I get a good draw and maybe a slice of luck or two along the way."

Every fighter entered in 'Ultimate Boxxer' is unbeaten - and Kremner goes into it full of confidence having recorded a career-best win last time out.

Ricky Rose came to Oldham Leisure Centre last month with a punch-perfect 3-0 record and Kremner wiped him out in four rounds with body shots.

Kremner is now looking to push his career on in 'Ultimate Boxxer' after shoulder injuries have restricted him to only nine fights since he turned pro in 2014.

He said: "My career hasn't exactly gone according to plan, but being in 'Ultimate Boxxer' really is a dream come true and makes me think that all the late nights and early mornings might pay off after all !

"I'm the only fighter representing Manchester in 'Ultimate Boxxer' and I'm hoping everyone gets behind me."
