Frank Buglioni: Either I deserve a shot or Frank Warren is great

Frank Buglioni

LIKEABLE Enfield man Frank Buglioni challenges unbeaten Fedor Chudinov for the WBA super-middleweight belt on Saturday (September 26) at Wembley. In advance of this, we asked the big ticket-seller YOUR questions.

How would you respond to people who say you arenโ€™t deserving of a world title shot after drawing with a domestic-level opponent [Lee Markham] in May?

I think the harder you work, the luckier you get. Thatโ€™s the motto I live by. Itโ€™s a world title opportunity, so what do they want me to do? Turn it down? Then theyโ€™d say Iโ€™m a coward. I think youโ€™re going to get criticism whatever you do, so you just have to do things to the best of your ability, and do what you think is right. Thatโ€™s what I do. I know for a fact that the Chudinov fight had been offered to other people, and they turned it down. I also know that a lot of top domestic fighters in the UK have turned world title fights down in the past. I can only do what I think is right, and when a world title opportunity comes a long, I take it with both hands.

How does it feel being one of Frank Warrenโ€™s star fighters?
Chris Wilson, Facebook
Itโ€™s a great honour. A lot of people have doubted myself, theyโ€™ve doubted Frank, but you canโ€™t doubt us both โ€“ heโ€™s got me a world title shot, so either Iโ€™m deserving of the shot, or heโ€™s a great promoter. So it speaks for itself.
