The eagerly awaited British debut of Marianne ‘Golden Girl’ Marston, against Lana Cooper, which was set to be at the Steve Goodwin promoted double title ‘It’s Personal’ event at York Hall on Saturday 11th September, has been rescheduled to Saturday 4th December. Replacing Marston-Cooper on Saturday will be ‘Dynamo’ Daryl Setterfield versus Matt Scriven.
Speaking late last week Marston, the protégé of legendary Heavyweight Champion of the World Smokin’ Joe Frazier, said “I’m hugely disappointed, I’m one hundred percent fight ready, then this happens.
The work I’ve done with Derek (trainer Derek Grainger) has been awesome, he really knows how to get the best from me, and I‘ve had great sparring too. It’s such a shame.
It’s going to be such a great night as well. There’s six TKO fighters on the card. Not only would I have had huge support from my fans but also from the boys and their fans. I’m going, It’s going to be a great night, even though I’m not fighting.
I can’t thank Steve (promoter Steve Goodwin) and Johnny (manager Johnny Eames) enough for sorting out a new date for my fight with Lana so quickly.
I’m really disappointed not to be fighting on the eleventh but am already focusing on December 4th. I’m going to back down my training for a few weeks and then start a full six week camp again in October. ”
Marston’s loss became one of her Ultrachem TKO Boxing Gym stable mates gain, as manager Johnny Eames reacted swiftly to the news to negotiate the vacant spot on the show for his exciting Light Middleweight charge ‘Dynamo’ Daryl Setterfield.
Setterfield, who back in March caused a sensation by knocking out the highly rated, and previously unbeaten prospect, Darren Hamilton, spoke briefly on his upcoming showdown with the highly experienced Matt Scriven, “I feel sorry for Marianne, she’s a good little fighter and trains hard, but I’ll take whatever comes my way.
Yeah, it’s gonna be a good fight, Matt’s had 78 fights and he’s a tough fighter. He’s had a lot of experience and that. I think if I play my cards right and do the right things I think I should get the win.
I don’t think this ones going to go like the one against Darren (Hamilton). I think I’m going to have to box clever in this one as Matt’s so experienced. He’s not gonna leave anything open for me to get a big right hand over the top like Darren. Obviously if the opportunity to do something like that comes I’ll take it, that’s the sort of fighter I am, you know.
I don’t think it’s going to go that way this one. I think it’s going to be a four round tactical fight. I’ll fight smart and be sharp on my feet. I’ll be looking to plant the shots and keep on my toes, keep moving, keep him thinking.
I know the fight came at short notice but I’m ready and am confident I’ll take the win on the night”
