Whilst clearly a dangerous move, for his Super Welterweight World Championship aspirations if he failed to secure the win, Jacobs wanted the test as McIntyre\u2019s approach and style has been favourably compared to that of Decastro.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the end it turned out to be very good move for Jacobs, as the Colchester man\u2019s preparations and tactics were spot on, so much so he dominated the contest to secure a solid points win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then post fight Jacobs immediately stepped up his campaign on social media calling for Decastro to fight him next, should the Bardney, Lincolnshire man beat Daniel Adjei Sowah and secure the WBU crown on April 27th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jacobs kept up the pressure throughout the build up to the Decastro-Sowah title clash and even went as far as not only being ringside on the night, but actually assisting Sowah\u2019s team in the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No surprise then, that in the post victory interviews a mightily angry Decastro more or less ignored talking about his latest stoppage win, or come to that him now being World Champion, instead choosing to make an vitriolic statement making it clear he was sick and tired of Jacobs and his comments which culminated in the announcement that he had decided to undertake a voluntary defence against Jacobs on the earliest possibly occasion to settle matters for once and for all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Within days terms were agreed and the official announcement made that Decastro would defend his recently won World Crown against Jacobs on June 22nd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking from his home earlier Jacobs said;<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a Massive fight for me, one I fully intend to win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI remember on my debut Nathan was on the same bill against Amedor from Ghana who had very impressive 8-0 (7KOs) record versus Nathan\u2019s 6-0 (4KOs) at the time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI didn\u2019t know their respective records at the time but I watched the fight and thought it was just two novices going at it as the winner DeCastro was incredibly dirty, hitting low an awful lot and they were just toe to toe scrapping. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat was my first sight of Decastro and obviously I boxed the same opponent, at Middleweight, next and stopped him a round earlier with relative ease and really wasn\u2019t impressed with the African. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAs both our careers have developed I\u2019ve chosen to have real fights with a real risk element whereas DeCastro has chosen to box Africans and Eastern European\u2019s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI do not consider myself a puncher but I feel if I\u2019d have had the same opponents I\u2019d be 15-0 (15 KOs). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis is a massive risky fight for me not only taking on someone who\u2019s a current world champion with a very impressive record but stepping up two weight categories against someone who by all accounts is supposed to be a massive puncher! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s also a risky fight for him as I don\u2019t believe he\u2019s been in the ring with anyone close to my level as a pro and that\u2019s going to be daunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we meet in the ring and he lands a shot and I\u2019m still there and not rolling over I know that\u2019s going to play massively on him psychologically, and then when I hit him back and he feels someone actually coming to beat him with meaningful shots and willingness to win that\u2019s also going to play on his mind. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHowever the fight goes and I have my own view on what will happen, it\u2019s going to be Nathan Decastro\u2019s first real fight and first time we see him pushed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI\u2019ve been pushed many times in my career and in each case I admit it was all my own fault, either a poor weight cut or lack of training but the difference is, so it\u2019s not unchartered territory for me, I know when times are hard I can bite down on my gum-shield and go into the trenches, we\u2019ve never seen this from Nathan as yet and I think that\u2019s the major difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nathan Decastro versus Tommy Jacobs for the World Boxing Union (WBU) and World Boxing Foundation Super Middleweight Championships that headlines the event at the Prince\u2019s Theatre in Clacton-on-Sea on Saturday 22nd June 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Supporting the Decastro-Jacobs WBU\/WBF World title fight are two further Championship bouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The first sees Scotland\u2019s Ben McGivern in battle once more against Hove, Sussex\u2019s Navid Iran, for the vacant World Boxing Union (WBU) International Light Heavyweight Championship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last time the pair locked horns, back in November last year, McGivern lifted the vacant Professional Boxing Council (PBC) International Light Heavyweight title after eight sensational, close fought, all action rounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The second Championship fight pits St Albans\u2019 Andy Hojdys against Latvia\u2019s Dmitrijs Ovjannikovs for both the World Boxing League (WBL) International and European Boxing League (EBL) European Light Heavyweight titles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the three Championship contests, there are also a number of International matches. The first of these will be an eight round non-championship bout featuring Tanzania\u2019s Amos Mwamakula against a yet to be named opponent, following a request from his previously contracted opponent World Boxing Council (WBC) Asia Champion Neeraj Goyat that he be released from the contract in order to fight Amir Khan for the World Boxing Council (WBC) Pearl Championship in Saudi Arabia on the 12th July, which was agreed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ipswich\u2019s unbeaten Super Middleweight prospect Rob Elden looks to keep a clean sheet and extend his tally of wins when he faces the highly experienced Nicaraguan hardpan Ronny McField in a six rounder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clacton-on-Sea\u2019s undefeated Featherweight Ben \u2018The Claxican\u2019 Cook also seeks to increase his win tally, when he faces Pablo Narvaez, who also hails from Nicaragua, in a four rounder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The final Pro bout features Dean Porter, who is eager to get back to winning ways, following his loss to Jack Jones last month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Porter also faces a Nicaraguan, in this case former International Boxing Organisation (IBO) and World Boxing Council (WBC) Youth World Title challenger Michael Isaac Carreo in a four round non-championship contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
