Callum Simpson Will Face Ivan Zucco On June 7th For The European Title

Press Release:

It will be Simpson’s toughest test to date, and the Barnsley boxer is calling on the passionate club fanbase to turn Oakwell into a fortress and support his battle to overcome an undefeated opponent.

Zucco, from Piemonte, Italy, has risen through the rankings with a series of impressive performances. The 29-year-old, unbeaten in his 21 professional contests, is a former WBC International Champion, who has stopped 18 of his opponents inside the distance.

Season ticket holders at Simpson’s beloved Barnsley FC will get 10% off ticket prices in an exclusive 24-hour priority access window for the June 7 event. A ticket pre-sale sign-up is also open now at BOXXER.com.

Barnsley FC and BOXXER executives have been working with local authorities to make sure the stadium is set up with the maximum number of seats for a non-football event.

Simpson’s debut at Oakwell last summer sold out inside 48 hours before going on general sale, with 7,000 fans cheering his impressive British and Commonwealth Title win over Zak Chelli.

On June 7, thousands more fans will get the chance to experience an unforgettable European night of boxing supporting ‘one of our own’ and are being urged to make the most of the clubs’ exclusive pre-sale access which includes a 24-hour 10% discount for season ticket holders.
