MANAMA: Mahmood Rafique, Editor: Irish Flyweight Gerard Burns has ignored Hussain Ayyad’s words and says he will ‘’unfortunately’’ upset the Bahrain crowd at BRAVE CF 80, set for Friday at the Khalifa Sports City Arena.
Burns takes on Bahrain’s Hussein Ayyad and said that the ‘’Irish are here to take over’’ and that he will upset the Bahraini crowd when the two face off as part of BRAVE CF 80 fight card.
Earlier in the week, Ayyad had claimed he would not let Gerard Burns ruin his night and beat him in front of his crowd. But it seems that the Irishman is willing to let thousands of Bahrainis down when they meet Friday night.
‘’I’m going to bring the smoke. That’s what I’m bringing. You know, unfortunately, I will upset the local crowd. Let’s go! The Irish are here to take over! Come on!’’, said an agitated Burns upon arrival in the Kingdom of Bahrain.
Ayyad vs Burns is part of a four-fight duel between Team Arab Legends and Team UK & Ireland, which is set to take place during BRAVE CF 80 – the main event of the evening will see BRAVE CF Bantamweight world champion Jose ‘’Shorty’’ Torres taking on arch-rival Nkosi Ndebele in a rematch of their first encounter, back in August of this year, when Torres edged Ndebele.
