Shakan Pitters vs Chad Sugden goes ahead on time, albeit with a twist

The highly-anticipated showdown between British Light-Heavyweight contenders Shakan Pitters and Chad Sugden is STILL on tomorrow!

Pitters and Sugden were scheduled to face-off for the Vacant British Light-Heavyweight Championship on Saturday 28th March in the headline attraction at the Coventry Skydome, but the whole show was postponed due to the outbreak of the coronavirus and then followed by directives from the British Boxing Board of Control and the Government.

However, Birmingham’s undefeated Pitters (13-0-0, 4 KO’s) and Newark’s Sugden (11-1-1, 4 KO’s) will still get to trade leather, but it will be in a digital boxing ring as they clash in a simulated COM vs. COM fight in the classic video game EA Sports Fight Night Champion.

The virtual fight has been created by promoter Hennessy Sports to ensure fight fans still get a fight fix during the ongoing COVID-19 situation and provide some light relief and entertainment during this challenging period.

Fans had been debating and arguing in the build up to the ‘real’ fight as to who would have won out of the classy and hard-hitting box-puncher style of the 6ft 6in Pitters and the high-pressure, all-action, style of the swarming Sugden.
