The crowd which roared Faversham’s Alex Branson-Cole to his latest professional victory have been hailed as the loudest at the show.

Branson-Cole took his record to 8-1-1 as he saw off Daniel Przewieslik on a points decision at the Brentwood Centre last Saturday.

While Branson-Cole’s following was far from the biggest on a packed bill - which included some from Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom Boxing division - they caught the attention of promoter Johnny Clark at Top Tier Boxing’s "Mentality" show.

Branson-Cole, who faced his third opponent after several changes again, said: “They were great.

"The promoter messaged and said the Faversham crowd was the loudest crowd of the night. It definitely wasn’t the biggest crowd but the fans were loud!

“I’m very grateful to everyone that came, especially with the last-minute changes.

"It was really good support.”

Branson-Cole has also attracted interest from boxing fans in nearby towns but the majority of the people getting behind the first man from the town to box professionally in more than 60 years are from Faversham.

“It mainly comes from Faversham,” he explained. “It’s a bit all over - some people from Whitstable and Herne Bay - but the majority do come from Faversham. The support is good.

“It’s always good to put on a show for everyone that comes.

"It’s not just all about boxing, it’s always a good night.

“It was a packed-out venue. I was sixth on and, after me, there were a couple of Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom boxers on.

“The venue was full. It’s one of the first times I have done that in a way.

“There were a good 1,000 people there and a good atmosphere.”

While Branson-Cole got the victory, his performance wasn’t up to his usual standards - not helped by the fact he had been scheduled to face Essex’s undefeated Taylor Jordan, then Malam Varela, before both pulled out.

He reflected: “It was all right.

"It wasn’t my best performance but I got in there and got the job done. I got the win, that’s what matters.

“There was another opponent change, which was a bit frustrating because it means that tactics change all of the time.

“But we worked on tactics every day in the gym and I just stuck to the game-plan and got the job done.”

Now, the 31-year-old hopes his record from his first 10 professional bouts can help put him into reckoning for fights either for, or at least aiming towards, a title.

He said: “That’s what I want, I want bigger and better fights, really. I want [to go for] titles or fights in the right direction for titles.

“I’m looking forward to what the future holds. Hopefully, I can have something on the line.

"But you just never know in professional boxing - there’s no 100%.”

In the meantime, having fought three times in 2024, Branson-Cole aims to enjoy a well-earned break.

“I have been in training since January,” said the self-employed roofer, who thanked sponsors Shepherd Neame, Compton’s Faversham, SolarGreen Energy Ltd, SimCig, Boosted Game, Quadrant Plumbing and Hadley Electrical Services. “I’ve had three fights this year.

“I’ve had a lot of time off work.

"So, I need to get back working and speak to my manager (Joe Elfidh of Boxing Connected) and my coach (Ian Fleckney), to see what the next plan is.

“I will give myself two weeks off and then get back to it.”
