Background

Kay “Sure To” Prosper is the former English Super-Lightweight Champion and former European Super-Lightweight title challenger. Kay has an undergraduate Sports degree and had the pure intention of opening up a gym in Luton at 22 years of age to help young people stay away from crime and put their time into Boxing. To improve his coaching Kay decided to have a few amateur fights, and after securing wins early in his amateur career he decided to give up being a Footballer for Dagenham and Redbridge to pursue a career in Boxing. One thing led to another and he is now looking for a British title fight for the renowned Lonsdale belt. He has aspirations of working with BE’s grassroots to gratitude scheme to ensure underprivileged kids can go to boxing gyms free of charge in an effort to prevent them from turning to criminal activity.

Beyond Entertainment's Kay Prosper will fight for the European super-lightweight title live on DAZN on March 26.

The English champion, nicknamed Special K, will headline the Matchroom Boxing event as he challenges Spaniard Sandor Martin in the champion's home country.

Martin, 28, won the vacant EBU belt in convincing fashion against Andrea Scarpa in July 2019, and has a 37-2 record.

Prosper, 36, has been English champion since beating Sam O'maison in September 2019 following a controversial draw in their first bout six months earlier. He then successfully defended it with a unanimous points decision against Bilal Rehman last March and is 14-1. 

The fight is an opportunity for both men to prove their credentials to step up in class, and the winner will move a step closer to a world title shot. 

Kay Prosper against Sandor Martin is live on DAZN from the Badalona's Palau Olímpic arena on March 26.
