Callum Simpson To Take On 'Knockout King' Ivan Zucco
Callum Simpson To Take On 'Knockout King' Ivan Zucco originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Prepare yourself for a night to remember in Barnsley, local boy Simpson will put his unbeaten, i.e., perfect record, on the line. Advertisement Simpson will face off against Italian knockout artist Ivan Zucco for the European super middleweight title at Oakwell Stadium. The eagerly awaited match is scheduled to happen on June 7th, 2025, and the confirmed venue of the match is Oakwell Football Ground, Barnsley. This is much more than a fight - it's a homecoming party. Simpson sold out this venue in 48 hours last summer when winning the British and Commonwealth titles - such a unique feat for local talent. Simpson returns now with over 15,000 fans expected to fill the football stadium as they urge on their hero. Simpson enters at 17-0 with 12 knockouts, however, he has never fought a fighter quite like Zucco before. The 29-year-old Italian is a southpaw pounder and has stopped 18 men as part of 21 bouts. Advertisement "Callum must be careful, I have a very powerful punch," said Ivan Zucco to the press during a promotional visit at Barnsley, England, in May 2025. What makes this exciting is that either man can end the match with one punch. Simpson yearns to become the first Barnsley-born fighter to win a European title, while Zucco envisions taking the belt back to Italy. The winner is offered more than bragging rights, yet the potential to step closer towards a world title shot. Simpson has already outlined his ambition to "fight for world honours," and beating an undefeated knockout artist like Zucco would certainly get noticed. As with every boxing promotion, there is one guarantee - somebody is losing their undefeated record on June 7th. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 1, 2025, where it first appeared.

Man was over drink-drive limit with child in car
A driver who was stopped on the M1 and found to be over the drink-drive limit with his child in the car is to appear in court. Police were called to the southbound carriageway, near Barnsley, on Friday at about 21:10 BST after reports of a vehicle swerving across the lanes. Officers discovered cans of beer in the car and during a breathalyser test, the man was found to be nearly twice over the drink-drive limit, South Yorkshire Police said. He refused to provide a blood sample for police and was charged with failing to provide a specimen. He will appear before Barnsley Magistrates' Court on 16 July. On the breathalyser test, the man recorded 68 micrograms of alcohol per 100 millilitres of breath, with the legal limit being 35. Insp Kieran Frain said: "One in five fatal collisions involves a drink driver. "If you make the decision to get behind the wheel after consuming alcohol, we endeavour to put you before a court and face the consequences of risking innocent people's lives." The child who had been a passenger in the car was taken home by police officers.
