Mark Jeffers feels ready to fight as he defeated substitute Joshua Quartey 10-1 (9 KOs) in Liverpool on Saturday. Against the best super middleweights in Europe.
Jeffers, who has a record of 19-0 (6 KOs), stopped the previously undefeated Ghanaian in three one-sided rounds before the 26-year-old reiterated his desire to fight some of the best in 2025. The desire of big-name players to compete.
Jeffers has been linked with Kevin Lele Sadjo for the European title, but so far it has proven impossible to secure the dangerous Frenchman.
Fortunately, Jeffers Do His natural rival is Callum Simpson, who has risen to prominence over the past 18 months, having booked his British and Commonwealth title fight with then-champion Zak Chelli in August last year About 7,000 tickets were sold. That night, Simpson relieved the wily Londoner of his title and established himself as one of the Boxxer’s main attractions.
It’s certainly not for lack of desire or effort, but more than eight years after turning pro, Jeffers is still waiting to fight someone who can force him out of second gear. He knows this challenge is coming in 2025 and is ready for anyone.
“Yeah, and it’s not just Simpson. I want any top fighter; then you’re going to see a great show. I’m in the top 10 in the IBF right now. I know the odds are against it, but even William Scarr You can call me if you want to volunteer, I hope,” Jeffers told Sky Sports after rejecting Quartey’s challenge.
As for Sachho, Jeffers is tired of chasing the Frenchman.
“Don’t even mention his name. He’s wasting his time,” he said.
On January 11, Simpson defended his title for the first time against Steed Woodall. Considering Woodall became the first man to defeat former British, European and IBO champion LeRon Richards in June, it would be extremely dangerous to ignore his chances of beating Simpson, but Jeffers is confident that coming from Barnes Leigh’s man will overtake Woodall and retain the Grand Slam. The summer showdown is on track. He would be more than willing to travel to Barnsley and play Simpson in front of the home fans.
“I do think he beat him,” he said. “I have nothing but respect for Callum. It’s about improving my life, it’s about improving my boxing career and Callum Simpson to me is the biggest name in the UK. Probably the other biggest names, I would choose them, so it’s nothing personal.
“Callum, I’m 100 percent sure he’s going to do it. I know 100 percent.”
