Mitchelstown's Danny Keating hoping to remain unbeaten after his fight with Sachin Nautyal

Cork Welterweight boxer Danny (Dannyboy) Keating will be eager to remain unbeaten when he fights Sachin Nautyal at the Pat Rafta Arena in Tennyson Brisbane City, Australia, that will be shown live on Fox Sports / Sky Sports on September 18th.

The former Mitchelstown native, Keating has an impressive 10-0 record with five of these fights coming by knock outs, however, Nautiyal who hails from New Delhi in India, has a decent record with eight victories, seven of these coming by way of knockout. 

However, he also has four losses on his record and they also came by knockout, so he proves he has heavy hands, so Keating needs to be on his guard.

Keating came through his last fight against a very tough Australian fighter Blake Minto and 10 pulsating rounds at the Gold Coast Convention Centre Broadbeach in Queensland, however, the judges gave him the nod to win by unanimous decision (100-90 ) to win the WBC Australian Welterweight Belt. 

In that fight he showed some great footwork by getting in to hurt Minto before skipping out before the Australian could hurt him.

Danny is now based in Brisbane and is trained by on of the World’s well respected trainer’s Mark Wilson and has took his fight with only three week notice, but he takes very little time off. 

Since his last fight he has been in the gym every day sparring and working hard and is confident that he can put in another got display to put another win on his record.

Nautiyal on the other hand will be looking to cause an upset, so Keating will head to be wary as he has a repetition of being a big hitter.

“I’m fighting an opponent from India with a 90% knock out win ratio and he is a one time national champion of India,” Danny said.

“This should be a good hard fight for me that takes me in the right direction. I will be fighting on the undercard of Liam Paro’s IBF World title eliminator.

“The card will be televised all around the World on Fox Sports / Sky Sports on September the 18th in Brisbane City at the Pat Rafta Arena and it is expected to be a sell out with full capacity.

“Preparation for me has been good considering that I took this fight on three weeks notice, however, I’m in the gym everyday so I stay fit and ready.

“I’ve done plenty sparring with all types of styles and weights and I’m looking forward to a good win on another big TV fight.

“After this fight I will have to sit down with my team and see what’s next for me?

"I’ve had three fights now in 10 months which is awesome, however, I want to keep busy and try get in another fight by the end of year,” Keating added.
