Billy Lovell is an English Mixed Martial Artist currently competing in the Heavyweight division, Representing Top Team MMA Gloucester. He is set to make his MMA debut at Fightstar Championship 20.
I’d like to start this off by thanking you for taking the time to speak to me today Billy, how has training been going in the build-up to your scheduled match-up at Fightstar Championship 20?
“No problem, training has been going very well. I’ve had a long camp and plenty of time for the things Iย needed to work on, and get ready for action on the 18th.”
At FSC 20 you take on Shah Kamali. A heavyweight bout of explosive prepositions, which the fans will definitely be looking forward to seeing at the Crystal Palace national sports centre. The heavyweight division of MMA, like many other combat sports, is always a fan favourite. What do you make of your opponent for your debut?
“Yes, as everyone knows it can all end in a second, so it makes for an exciting fight. I have nothing personal against my opponent. However, come fight night he is standing between me and victory, HE WILL BE TAKEN OUT.”
The 18th is almost upon us and the stage is almost within sight. This being your MMA debut it must be full of so many emotions. How does it feel to be making your 1st step on your MMA Journey?
“Yes, I have been putting hard work in the gym. I am glad to be part of this event, and to show the fans what I will bring on the 18th, and make my debut count in the MMA world.”
As previously stated, this will be your first step into the MMA world, being an unknown fighter to the many fans that will be in attendance, what can the fans come to expect from you on the night of Fightstar’s 20th action-packed event in London?
“They can expect full-on action, well rounded in all areas. I will give 110 percent. And don’t blink boys and girls, because I come to fight!”
Has MMA always been part of your long term plans while studying Martial arts, or has the prospect of fighting in the cage something that manifested throughout your training over the years?
“Coming from a boxing background, I’ve always wanted to compete in MMA. I now dedicate full time to the sport. I cannot wait to get in that cage.”
Other than your inclusion on the night, are there any match-ups in particular that you’re looking forward to witnessing come December 18th?
“Fightstar has put on an action-packed card which is not to be missed. Many great wars.”
Last but not least do you have a message for the fans that will be in attendance at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre and anybody you’d like to shout out to?
“First and foremost, to all my teammates and coaches at the Top team, and thank you to everyone travelling down. See you on the 18th, let’s get this W!”
