Agyarko admits he feared being sidelined after Adams pull-out

Caoimhin Agyarko has revealed he was uncertain about his future after Brandon Adams withdrew from their scheduled eliminator. The Belfast middleweight now faces Josh Kelly for a title instead.

“I was heartbroken at the time [when the Adams fight was cancelled] and didn't know what was going to happen after, whether I was going to have to fight in another eliminator or get the title fight, or even be left on the sidelines again”

What Caoimhin Agyarko said

Agyarko was set to meet Adams in an eliminator before the fight collapsed. The cancellation left him without a clear path forward until the Kelly title opportunity emerged. The Kelly clash gives Agyarko a direct route to championship contention without needing another eliminator.

What it moves

Speaking to BBC Sport, Agyarko said he did not know what would happen after the cancellation or whether he would be left waiting again. The Kelly fight resolves that uncertainty and puts Agyarko one win away from a belt. His willingness to take the replacement bout keeps his momentum alive.
