Golden Contract super-lightweight draw made as Tyrone McKenna discovers opponent

Tyrone McKenna will face Mikey Sakyi in the quarter-finals of the Golden Contract super-lightweights.

Eight of the best 140lb fighters take part in the tournament, which blasts into action this Friday night at York Hall.

Kieran Gething will take on Lewis Benson, Mohamed Mimoune will face Darren Surtees and Logan Yoon fights Ohara Davies.

Gething, Mimoune, Sakyi and Yoon picked blue balls 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively, meaning they could choose their opponents, while Benson, Surtees, McKenna and Davies all picked red balls.

McKenna said afterwards: "I'm happy enough and I can't wait.

"It should be a good fight, but I've seen a few things in Mikey I'll look to exploit."

Sakyi added: "I like southpaws and McKenna is always in interesting fights.

"I love putting on a show for the fans so it will be a good one."

MTK Global Professional Development Coordinator Jamie Conlan said: "The fight of the round for me is Logan Yoon and Ohara Davies.

"There will be fireworks to it, especially as Logan is the mystery man of the tournament. He has a high amateur background and Ohara is the man they all want to take off the perch, so it will be interesting."

Sky Sports' Andy Clarke: "It was interesting that Ohara was one of the fighters that got a red ball, and you never know what will happen in that regard.

"There are some good match ups, and there is a big chance here for someone. As always with boxing, you can say what you want to say, but come the night you reap what you sow."

DRAW IN FULL:

  1. Kieran Gething vs. Lewis Benson
  2. Mohamed Mimoune vs. Darren Surtees
  3. Mikey Sakyi vs. Tyrone McKenna
  4. Logan Yoon vs. Ohara Davies
