Micky Terrill to shine at SuperKombat World Grand Prix II this Saturday in Romania
by Andreas Georgiou - @AGeorgiouMMA
SuperKombat tryout winner Micky “The Thrill” Terrill will return to Romania to take part in the four man Cruiserweight tournament where he will face Patrick van Reese in the opening round live on Eurosport. Fellow tryout winner Jamie Bates will be in the corner of Terrill, having won the light heavyweight tournament back in May.
Micky Terrill had an impressive performance at the World Grand Prix II in May, when he took on Danut Hurduc, dominating the Romania to win a unanimous decision. The victory has now earned the young Brit another chance to further himself in Europe, with SuperKombat president Eduard Irimia branding him a “new hero”.
The second semi-final bout features Cristian Ristea against Moises Baute.
Contender Promotions president Garry Bell took a big risk giving UK fighters the chance to shine on the world stage. With the high level of talent in SuperKombat such as Andrei Stoica, Bell knew he had to find some outstanding talent to represent him. Jamie and Micky both picked up wins in their first fights, proving them more than suitable to represent British kickboxing.
The Middlesbrough based promotion are fast proving themselves as legitimate talent builders, giving unknown fighters the chance to become real life contenders. It’s clear to see that they pride themselves at what they do and a possible long road of success lays ahead for Contender Promotions.
Bell has already revealed some of his plans for later this year, with his Fightstar Hunt rolling out from August, starting with a trip to the legendary VOS gym in Holland. However their next event will take place July 19th and will be dedicated to fallen British serviceman Nathan Cuthberson.
