‘What You’ve Been Missing’ – Caoimhin Agyarko Ready to Send a Message to Eddie Hearn
Caoimhin Agyarko has promised to show Eddie Hearn he made a mistake in letting him go.
The Belfast star returns to a Matchroom card for the first time since he parted ways with the promotional outfit this Saturday.
Matchroom allowed the former Holy Trinity amateur’s contract run down and didn’t renew post his win over Troy Williamson in late December of 2023.
It led to a difficult 2024 for the fighter Hearn once labelled the Irish Canelo. Agyarko was hoping to level up and had agreed to numerous noteworthy fights, but without big promotional backing, was left somewhat in limbo.
Now an out-of-the-blue opportunity arises this weekend, and it’s one he plans to take.
‘Black Thunder’ fights Ryan Kelly in a British title eliminator on a DAZN hosted card in Sheffield, and he says won’t let short notice nature of the fight prevent him from registering a win that will have a long-term impact on his career.
āIāve just got to go in there on Saturday night and show everyone what theyāve been missing, and show Matchroom what theyāre been missing. Iām ranked at number five in the world, and Iām ranked that for a reason,” the light middleweight said.
While he is confident of victory, the 28-year-old is aware he shares the ring with a good boxer come Saturday.
āI think Ryan is a good fighter and heās been in with top lads. Heās been in with top lads but heās come up short. Heās campaigned at Middleweight and it probably wasnāt the right weight for him. Iāve campaigned at Middleweight and moved down. I think youāll get a good fight on Saturday night,” he adds.
āYou know me, always classy never trashy. Iāll come up here and Iāll always respect my opponents but when you get in there with me on Saturday night itās strictly business. I respect every opponent that I face. He would have been preparing for a great fight with Ishmael Davis so I know heās had a good camp.”
