Josh Padley’s Matchroom Debut (April 19th): Facing Marko Cvetanovic For WBA International Title After Shakur Stevenson Loss

Josh Badamli faces Serbian Marco Kvitanovic in a light competition of 10 tours for the WBA International Lightweight on April 19, Live on Dazen In Park Community Arena in Sheffield, England.
Paley-Cvenovic will fight against Daltun Smith Vs. Mathieu Germain UnderCard for this event. Given the low low, it is not expected to be a competitive battle. Of course, with Badli’s lack of power, you cannot exclude close fighting from start to finish. You can expect CVetanovic to target a Badley body because this is where it has proven to be weak in its last battle.
The first appearance of the match
This is the first of the Badli multi-fight (15-1, 4 KOS) recently signed with Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing after his effort in the game, and lost to Shakur Stephenson, the light blowing of WBC with a knockout in the ninth round on February 22 in Rayyeh, Saudi Arabia.
Badli was recruited by Herne as an alternative opponent of Shakur after the scheduled man withdrew at first, Floyd Chauvield. Herne took some criticisms from fans to choose a part -time Badli part -time, on the tenth rank that is unprecedented in WBC Nawa Herrera (17-0, 15 Cos), which would have been fighting a more interesting battle for Shakour.
Some fans believed that Herne was protecting Stephenson to prevent him from leaving and rescuing a potential large amount of money against the light section of the light department, Girfanta Davis.
Marko Cvetanovic (13-0, 6 KOS) has one prominent name in his autobiography, Journeyman Viorel Simion, who fought many known fighters during his career. CVetanovic 43 -year -old CVetanovic was suspended in the third round due to last year on June 28. Other than that, CVetanovic has greatly fought the veterans and prospects during his short career. He started as a kick in 2018, but he abandoned it after a successful battle to focus on boxing.
Lightweight
Bali’s lack of power makes it difficult for him to coincide with any of the slow adults or fighters in the lightweight section. You cannot match him against the likes of Abdullah Mason, Raymond Moratala or Edwin de Los Santos and they expect to reach the fourth round. Herne may choose targeted fighters such as Dennis Bernsik, Maxi Hughes or Joe Cordina as Badley options. His status with 22 -year -old Jadier Herrera will be a bad idea.
