Ultimate Boxxer announces four fight, one night super middleweight tournament
Ultimate Boxxer series 7 will see some of the brightest super middleweight prospects go head-to-head in a tournament which promises to be life-changing for the winner.
Zak Chelli (7-1-1, 3 KO's) Joint youngest in the tournament at 22 but has crammed in plenty of ring experience in just three and half years of pro action with nine fights and 52 rounds plus a Southern Area title. He's pulled off a few shocks previously by beating unbeaten prospect Umar Sadiq and dropping contender Kody Davies. He's the bookies favorite off the back of his highly questionable draw with Jack Cullen at Matchroom's Fight camp last time out as the away fighter. He's hungry for the win and then onto a rematch with Cullen.

Diego Costa (7-0-0, 5 KO's) Regarded as the most avoided man in the division but there is no home corner in this competition. The Boy From Brazil brings sizzle and salsa when he fights! From Recife, Brazil, and fighting out of Fallowfield, Manchester, Costa is the puncher in the pack with five KO's in seven fights to earn his nickname 'Dynamite'. Costa will have the benefit of being trained by former Prize Fighter winner Martin Murray who is familiar with the tournament format. He's the oldest at 34, but the most dangerous and with explosive packed fists can end a fight at any second.
