Enfield boxer Frank Buglioni believes he has made “massive” improvements as he looks to reclaim the WBO European Super-Middleweight title he lost to Sergey Khomitsky against Andrew Robinson on Saturday.

Buglioni (14-1), who surrendered the WBO belt in his only professional defeat to date, will go toe-to-toe with the unbeaten Robinson (14-0), with the Redditch-born fighter hoping to land a European title at the first attempt.

The bout is on the undercard of the grudge match between Dereck Chisora and Tyson Fury at the ExCel Arena in London, with Billy Joe Saunders taking on Chris Eubank Jnr for the EBU Middleweight title and Frankie Gavin facing Bradley Skeete for the British Welterweight crown.

In the seven months since he lost the WBO title to the experienced Khomitsky, there has been much change in the Buglioni camp, not least a switch to the stewardship of Steve and Paschal Collins.

And ahead of Saturday’s match-up at the ExCel, Buglioni insists he is a better fighter than when he last held the WBO European Super-Middleweight crown.

“There have been massive improvements since the Khomitsky fight,” stated the 25-year-old. “I have come back with two fights by stoppage and I have shown I am still a good fighter and the Khomitsky defeat was just a hiccup.

“My defence has improved massively and I am excited to put on a good show and show what improvements I have made.”

Victories by stoppage over Sam Couzens and Alexey Ribchev saw Buglioni win the Southern Area Super-Middleweight title, but after Khomitsky vacated the belt to make the step up, Buglioni has seized the opportunity to re-claim the title.

“I’m getting my career back on track now and beating Robinson to win the WBO European title will be the next step for me,” explained Buglioni.

The ‘Wise Guy’ has been training in Ireland with the Collins brothers after electing to leave Mark Tibbs earlier this year, and believes he is reaping the benefit of a single-track approach in the Emerald Isle.

“It has been a fantastic camp and it this is the fittest I have ever been so everything is coming together,” said Buglioni, who was still in Ireland as of Monday as his seven-week training camp neared completion.

He continued: “It’s great because it is a gym full of hungry, determined fighters who are at a good level; pushing each other. It is a very competitive gym and just being away from everything at home and focused on boxing; living and breathing boxing has made the difference.”

Opponent Robinson displayed no little resilience in beating Dan Blackwell in August, coming through to win on points despite suffering a seriously swollen left ear. The 30-year-old has since beaten Elvis Dube by knockout last month, but Buglioni expects to prevail.

“He will definitely come to win, he’s a good athlete, but I have not trained hard to let him win,” Buglioni declared.

“He is a very fit, tough and strong guy but tough is not enough and I am looking to showcase my skills.”
