Chudinov defeats Buglioni

In a predictable outcome, WBA “regular” super middleweight title holder Fedor Chudinov (14-0, 10 KOs) had little problems in beating an over-matched #4 WBA challenger Frank Buglioni (17-2-1, 13 KOs) by a lopsided 12 round unanimous decision tonight at the Wemblay Arena in London, UK.

Steve Collins Backing Buglioni All the Way

Steve Collins Backing Buglioni All the Way

Irish boxing legend Steve Collins is predicting that not only will Frank Buglioni (17-1-1, 13ko) dethrone Fedor Chudinov (13-0, 10ko) tomorrow night when the two go head-to-head for the Russian’s WBA (reg) title at the SSE Arena in London, but that the ‘Wise Guy’ will move on to become a force in the 168 lb division.

Collins, along with his brother Paschal, train Buglioni largely from their Celtic Warriors gym in Dublin and claim they have prepared their man better than ever before as he makes the huge jump from domestic to world level, with a focus on tightening the notoriously leaky defence that saw him stopped on his feet by Belarusian trial horse, Sergey Khomitsky last year.

Frank Buglioni: Full of Confidence Ahead of Fedor Chudinov Title Tilt

This coming Saturday in London, British super-middleweight contender Frank Buglioni (17-1-1, 13ko), enters far and away the biggest fight of his professional career when he tackles Russian WBA (reg) champion Fedor Chudinov (13-0, 10ko), in front of what is sure to be a roaring partisan crowd at the SSE Arena.

Despite entering as a significant betting underdog for the fight, ‘The Wise Guy’ has warned that he is not to be underestimated or written off, and that the oft-referenced porous defence that saw him stopped by Belarusian trial horse, Sergey Khomitsky inside 6 rounds in April of last year, won’t be a problem on the night.

‘Man vs Machine’: I Will Rip Into Buglioni Like a Shark says Fedor Chudinov

'Man vs Machine': I Will Rip Into Buglioni Like a Shark says Fedor Chudinov

WBA (reg) super middleweight champion Fedor Chudinov (13-0, 10ko) has promised he is going to finish Frank Buglioni when he comes to London on September 26th to defend his title, and when he’s through with that, he wants to dethrone the other key British 168 lb fighters – chief among them, IBF champion James DeGale.

Chudinov, who postponed the fight once already, has one eye on German puncher Vincent Feigenbutz, the Interim WBA champ, and thus, mandatory challenger to his title, and the fight between the two young punchers is already agreed in principle, provided the Russian gets past Buglioni – something he is extremely confident of doing.

Frank Buglioni: Can’t Take His Eye Off The Ball Tonight In London

YouTube video
Tonight in London, Enfield’s “Wise Guy” Frank Buglioni should have been fighting for the WBA (reg) 168 lb title against newly crowned Russian champion Fedor Chudinov, however a broken nose in sparring has postponed the fight and he must instead face late replacement Mexican opponent Fernando Castaneda (23-9) instead.

The Mexican fighter has lost 3 of his last 5 and boxed up at cruiserweight for his last bout (a win) coming in at yesterday’s weigh-in 7 lbs over the super middleweight limit.

Buglioni Gets Surprise World Title Shot against Fedor Chudinov

YouTube video
Yesterday, the recent world title rumors that had surfaced on social media regarding Enfileld’s Frank Buglioni became a reality when promoter Frank Warren announced that the “Wise Guy” will indeed get a shot at newly crowned WBA (Reg) 168 lb champion Fedor Chudinov on July 24th from the SSE Arena in London.

Buglioni had been due to face domestic rival Lee Markham in an immediate rematch of their FOTY candidate just 6 weeks ago, however, in something of a promotional master stroke, Warren has managed to maneuver Buglioni into position for a hometown challenge against the Russian, who himself won the belt in May when he shocked the seasoned Felix Sturm over a 12 round SD. It was just Chudinov’s 13th outing as a professional.

Buglioni & Markham To Do It Again

After their blood and guts war that more than ably headlined Frank Warren’s recent “Striking Distance” show from the SSE Arena in London earlier this month, Enfield’s “Wise Guy” Frank Buglioni and Romford’s Lee “Banjo” Markham are set to go at it again – after their electrifying first fight ended in (a rightful) draw.

Announced by George Warren on “Bunce’s Boxing Hour” and by Buglioni himself via his twitter feed, the rematch is set for July 24th at the same venue – and each man will be determined to walk out a clear winner and leave nothing in the hands of the judges this time.

“War” From Buglioni & Markham – “Striking Distance” Card Review Feat. Skeete/Smith

YouTube video
Frank Warren tonight brought his “Striking Distance” show to the Wembley Arena in London (in a televised clash with Sky’s Matchroom “Resurrection” show from Birmingham) – which after pull-outs by middleweight stars Billy Joe Saunders and Chris Eubank Jr, ended up being (ably) carried by stable starlets Frank Buglioni, Bradley Skeete and Mitchell Smith – whose loyal A-Team were out in droves and vocal in their support of the top young 126/130lb prospect.

In the end it was Enfield’s Buglioni and his fight with old amateur rival Lee Markham that stole the show in a hard fought, blood and guts domestic battle that going in was tipped to be the Fight Of The Night.
