‘Saint’ George Jupp Ready For Battle With Pavels
Senkovs
Ultrachem TKO’s exceptional teenage discovery,
George Jupp, is set for the second start of his
fledgling professional career, against the highly
experienced Latvian Pavels Senkovs, at the Steve
Goodwin promoted ‘It’s Personal’ title double header
at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, London, on Saturday
11th September 2010.
Back in May this year, at the ‘Oakey’s Last
Stand’ event at the Mountbatten Centre in
Portsmouth,19 year old Jupp showed his mettle
against a very tough opponent in Peter Barney, with
a superb boxing display to secure victory by a 40-37
points margin.
Following a training session under the watchful
eyes of co-trainer Derek Grainger, at the Ultrachem
TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, London, Belvedere’s
‘Saint’ George spoke of his preparations for his
upcoming fight, “So far so good, been training for
the past three weeks and all’s looking good. Just
started the sparring last week, got some good
sparring in with Daryl Setterfield and will be
sparring Ian Bailey this week. Everything is coming
together, the roadwork and gym work.
I don’t know anything about Pavels, other than
he’s a tough coming forward pressure fighter. I
think he’s had a few fights. It’ll be good
experience and a good test, I’m looking forward to
it.
My debut fight was a tough, tough fight, He was a
really strong boy, he just kept coming. I caught him
with some nice shots. I just stuck to my boxing and
think I did the much cleaner work, it was hard as he
was a tough test for my debut, but I came through.
After coming through that tough fight, and the
excellent preparations I’m getting here with Johnny
(Manager/co-trainer Johnny Eames) and Del
(co-trainer Derek Grainger) at the Ultrachem TKO
Boxing Gym, I’m feeling quite confident for this
fight.
I’ve been doing my work with Del mainly, and with
Johnny sometimes during the day. We’ve been going
over the basics again and trying new things. We
watched the video of my first fight and are working
on some things we could improve and sharpen, using
his fight wisdom. I’m learning some of his tricks
and that. He’s been there and done it, lucky for me
I get to benefit from his experience.
It’s going to be a great night, we have six
Ultrachem TKO fighters on the show so there’ll be
lots of support and a great atmosphere. I can’t
wait.”
A smiling Johnny Eames, who had been listening
intently as George spoke, then added, “With regard
to George’s first fight we did something that we
don’t normally do by putting him in with a
debutante. So we knew very little about the kid. We
gave away a couple of kilo as well.
We decided to take a bit of a gamble because of
George’s boxing skills and dedication. We rolled the
dice with George and he stood up to it superbly. It
was a perfect fight for him in the sense that we
could see what George’s made of and the kid came to
fight, he came to win. It was in Portsmouth and the
kids from Portsmouth and he had everything in his
favour except George’s superior ability. George
handled the pressure really well, showed he has an
old head on very, very young shoulders and I really
do believe George can go all the way.”
