Sam Eggington is well-known for his no-nonsense approach to combat, which keeps fans intrigued and on the edge of their seats. His victory over Bilel Jkitou in 2021, which was decided by a split decision, was named "Fight of the Year" by the British Boxing Board of Control; nevertheless, this is of little significance to Pigford since Egginton must once again provide a performance of the highest caliber in order to achieve his goal of competing at the highest level once more.

Joe Pigford - Pigford confident of defending his unbeaten record
Since making his professional debut in 2012, the Southampton-based super-welterweight known as 'The Pig' has defeated all of his opponents, with the exception of one. However, the upcoming bout will be one of his toughest to date. As Pigford gets ready to put his perfect record on the line in Bournemouth, he told Sky Sports, "Undoubtedly, he's the best opponent I've faced, but for me that brings excitement and a spark that I haven't had in previous fights." Pigford is in the process of defending his unbeaten record. There is a great deal more to gain from this fight in comparison to the others because I will receive a much larger payout for beating Eggington than I did for any of my other opponents. I'm excited to see what the future holds." Pigford, on the other hand, is the favorite among the oddsmakers in this bout, and we anticipate that The Pig will display his sophistication as he works to further establish his reputation in the super welterweight division.
