Tyrone Buttigieg Poised To Achieve Historic Milestone With WBC Title Fight
Gibraltarian boxer Tyrone Buttigieg will be breaking new ground for a local athlete by fighting for the WBC Continental Latin title in November.
A statement follows below:
Tyrone will be the first Gibraltarian-born boxer to have fought for a title.
The World Boxing Council (WBC) is the most prestigious international governing body, one of only four organisations which sanction professional fights.
Tyrone said: “I'll be boxing against Ernesto Martinez who recently contested the Venezuelan title. He has much more experience than I do, especially at longer distance fights.
He is a tough opponent who comes to win and has a good record and ranking.”
The fight will be held at the Casino Admiral in San Roque on the 9th November.
Anyone wanting tickets can contact Tyrone directly via social media — he notes that 70% of the tickets have been sold out already.
