The Sheffield puncher promising bonfire fireworks
Elias Sinani has his third professional fight this weekend at Doncaster Dome
Sheffield boxing's next big thing is promising some fireworks in his third professional fight on bonfire weekend.
Elias Sinani is chasing his third stoppage win - and wants to further his case ambition of appearing on big Matchroom shows.
The Wincobank 27-year-old, who has an early Naseem Hamed-style sparkle in both his personality and boxing style, takes on Argentina's Matias Camano at Doncaster Dome.
And the super lightweight prospect hopes to record a quick win on the Dave Allen show.
"I'd love a first round knock out" he told The Star.
"I have prepared for six rounds with some really hard training with Shaz (coach Yunis) at Top Boy Boxing Centre.
"I believe I am gifted with power and I have developed that even stronger recently.
"I am hungry to get on the big shows and Dave Allen (manager) is trying to squeeze me on a Matchroom night, where I can have an international platform."
Sinani also told a press conference this week that his Burngreave gym had to buy new boxing bags every month "because I'm ripping them up.
"Come Saturday I am sparking him out. I am going to be three KOs.
"I don't want to have a pillow fight with him, tickle him. I want to absolutely get him out of there, that is what people want to see and what people are entertained by.
"They want to see knockouts, front flips and back flips."
Behind the hubris, Sinani, a former Parkwood academy student, says he respects all his opponents.
"I am not taking anyone easily and I am training as if it is a world title fight."
