Fans in Dubai are set to be entertained by a host of international boxing stars at #RotundaRumble2 on November 22.
England’s WBO world no. 1 Jack Catterall clashes with highly-ranked German Timo Schwarzkopf, while the leading light of Indian boxing Vijender Singh is also in action at the top of a glitzy bill.
With another sell-out crowd expected at the D4G event in association with MTK Global & Round 10 Boxing at Caesars Palace, Bluewaters DXB, undefeated Catterall is eager to tee up his long-anticipated world title shot with the eyes of the world on a unique setting.
Catterall (24-0, 13 KOs) said: “This will be a special, special night. I’ve been tuning into the Dubai shows and the amount of nationalities involved is incredible. I’m proud to be representing my country on this bill.
“It says so much about the diversity in boxing and the enthusiasm for the sport around the world that these shows are getting attention on a big platform. You’ve got people from places literally in all four corners of the globe tuning in.
“Most people already know about Vijender Singh and he’s an absolute superstar in India. I think on the last show in Dubai there were fighters from 13 different countries or something on the bill. It’s like an international boxing festival!
“From my own perspective, I can’t wait to showcase myself and like most on the bill, I’ll be looking to steal the show. I’ve been within touching distance of my world title shot for some time and I know I have to keep looking good, unfortunately for Schwarzkopf…”
Singh, who is already 11-0, 8 KOs and eyeing the world stage, said: “I’m ready for fighting in Dubai next month. Currently I am training working hard with my trainer Lee Beard in Manchester.
“For me these fights are going to be a build up to the world title which I am aiming for in 2020. I am sure my debut fight in Dubai is going to be an exciting one and looking forward to a knockout win in the early rounds.”
D4G Promotions head Ahmed A. Seddiqi is understandably enthused by the prospect of hosting another historic event after September’s sold-out Rotunda Rumble show.
Seddiqi said: “This is a great story for Dubai and the people and fans are proud to be hosting such an inclusive event. We look forward to welcoming fighters from all over the world here again.
“The great thing about this show is you will have warriors from many different countries but not just for the sake of it; some of these fighters are operating at the very top of the sport already and there are two clear examples in Jack and Vijender, who will go on to fight for world titles as soon as 2020.
“Our message regarding these shows is clear: boxing is a global sport and belongs to everybody. We want to bring the best fighters, the best fights and the greatest experiences for everyone to Dubai and for the boxing scene here to continue its meteoric rise.”
