Ideh is a tough all action fighter, not too dissimilar in style to Steve, as such a true Battle Royale from the two big punchers is expected on the night. In his career Ideh has gone the distance with current British Light Welterweight Champion Darren Hamilton, recent Southern Area title challenger Scott Moises, Commonwealth title challenger Eddie Doyle and Central Area Lightweight Champion Scott Cardle, amongst others. In his last bout Ideh was unlucky in his challenge, against Belfast’s Matthew Wilton, for the International Masters title. Following a light training session, with Barry Smith at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, Steve said. “Barry and me just watched one of his (Ideh Ochuko) fights on YouTube, he likes to fight, this will be a great fight for the fans. I’m ready, fighting people like him is what I want, he’ll be coming to fight, that’s what I want, it’s what the fans want, I can’t wait.” Coach Barry Smith then added. “We’ve had a training camp here in the UK, obviously here at the famous TRAD TKO, we’ve been working on everything and have had some great sparring, with the likes of Michael Grant, young talented kids like Dion Reid, Liam Skinkwin and Tommy ‘Da Gunn’ Martin. ![]() Steve Martin with coach Barry Smith at the TRAD TKO Gym in London / photo: Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro Everything’s gone pretty good, yeah I’m really happy as a coach, it’s gone really good. I’ve seen a bit of him (Ideh Ochuko) honestly he brings it, he’s going to bring his A-game, we know that, but we’re prepared for him and Steve Martin will be victorious on the night, I believe.” Steve Martin versus Ideh Ochukowill feature on the Dave Murphy Acourtier Events promoted ‘NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS’mega event, headlined by Jennifer Retzke versus Angel McKenzie World title clash, at York Hall in Bethnal Green, London on Friday, 4thOctober 2013 Tickets, priced £35 (Standard Seated) and £60 (Ringside) are available by calling Steve’s coach Barry Smith on 07407 499714 Alternatively tickets can be bought on-line at www.acourtier.com - or in person from the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning town – www.tkoboxinggym.com - For further information call – 07960 850645, 07809 499896 or 07557 641597 FURTHER INFORMATION/INTERVIEW REQUESTS For further information or interviews please contact: Gianluca (Rio) Di Caro JustListen2This Publicity & Promotion Tel: (UK) +44( 0)208 166 5694 Tel: (UK) +44 (0)7960 850645 Tel: (UK) +44 (0) 7557 641597 Skype: GianlucaDiCaro Viber: +44 (0) 7557 641597 E.Mail: rio@justlisten2this.com |
