There won’t be any horsing around (like we had with Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson) at the OVO Wembley Arena on Saturday, December 7, when a band of British boxing hopefuls ride into town, all prepared to pack a punch. It’s the third Frank Warren (Queensberry) promoted ‘Magnificent 7’ night of 2024, following two events in Birmingham earlier this year and the first time the series has hit the capital. Brad Pauls vs Denzel Bentley is the bout that tops the Wembley bill, and there are three belts on the line in the mouthwatering middleweight match-up. Pauls from Newquay in Cornwall brings his British title to the table, while Bentley enters the ring wearing his WBO International belt. The vacant European middleweight crown is also up for grabs.
Brad Pauls is a ‘Magnificent 7’ series regular, having featured in two epic 2024 encounters with Nathan Heaney in Birmingham in March and July. Pauls hammered the previously unbeaten Heaney into submission during the summer to claim the British crown, following the pair’s dramatic split-decision draw earlier in the year. Brad Pauls, who’s targeting a world middleweight title shot, returns to Wembley for the first time since he suffered a points defeat against Tyler Denny in February 2023, which is the only current blemish on his professional record.
Standing opposite Pauls is Denzel Bentley. ‘2 Sharp’ hails from Wandsworth, London and will be guaranteed a fervent backing from those watching ringside. Bentley also encountered Nathan Heaney recently in a ‘Magnificent 7’ event (November 2023), but the Londoner failed to sparkle, with Heaney coming out on top by majority decision in Manchester. However, Bentley has responded positively since that setback, re-establishing himself as a force in the middleweight division. The Londoner recorded second-round knockouts in the capital earlier this year against Danny Dignum (May) and Derrick Osaze (August). Both clashes took place at Bethnal Green's York Hall.
