Lee Cutler - In Profile

Beating Stephen McKenna in a thrilling contest was the breakout victory that Lee Cutler’s résumé needed.

Now comes a different type of acid test against a grizzled veteran in Sam Eggington.

Cutler is hoping to follow in the footsteps of fellow Bournemouth native Chris Billam-Smith and bring another boxing show back to the seaside resort.

The ambition begins by headlining at the Bournemouth International Centre and then the Vitality Stadium where Billam-Smith memorable won his WBO cruiserweight world title against Lawrence Okolie.

The rise of Cutler has been steady but perhaps not quick enough for the 29-year-old.

However, with momentum on his side and being the fresher fighter, Eggington may not be the man to derail Cutler’s run, particularly with so many miles on the clock.

Cutler will have the advantage in speed and has the ability to frustrate opponents but he knows that at some point he will have to bring something far more damaging to the table if he is to fend off ‘The Savage’.

Sam Eggington - In Profile

Sam Eggington’s unconditional love for boxing is the driving force behind his desire to keep fighting.

A professional for 12-and-a-half years and with 44 fights behind him, it’s somewhat remarkable to believe that the Birmingham boxer is only 31-years-old.

A lot has been packed into a career that can be easily defined as that of a roller coaster.

Sometimes you never know what version of Eggington will show up and that is a both a positive and a negative for his upcoming opponent, Lee Cutler.

The former British, Commonwealth and European welterweight champion’s career is now in the championship rounds.

Eggington will realise if he can’t beat someone on the cusp of being a contender, like Cutler, then the liklihood is that he will fall into the bracket of 'journeyman', whereas victory could catapult him to even more glamorous and lucrative matchups.
