Milch looking to dazzle at York Hall
Tony Milch will be defending his unbeaten professional record at the world-famous York Hall on Saturday evening and says he’s looking forward to putting on a show for his fans.
Having finished his training, the 34-year-old’s last sparring session being on Friday, a few padding sessions, along with taking in some rest, is now all that stands between now and the opening bell.
Fighting fit as he looks to make it eight wins from eight, he says: “I’ve now finished my sparring and training and am in the best shape ever. I’ve never been so fit, this is the sharpest I’ve ever been and now it’s just a matter of ticking over until Saturday night.”
Expecting more than 100 fans to be backing him on, this will be his first fight as a professional at the world-famous York Hall, and he says he can’t wait. “It will be great to fight there and is why, to an extent, I’ve sold so many tickets,” he says. “It’s also been a venue in the past where so many Jewish boxers have fought and I’m hoping to put on a show for all the fans.”
While his opponent and number of rounds for Saturday are still to be confirmed, having fought a six-round contest – in his last fight – he wants to at least match that. He says: “We have a fighter lined up, though he’s more of a brawler and wants four rounds. I’m more of a boxer and want six, but we’ll have to see.” Having fought the six last time out, he’s now eligible for a championship fight, and expects that to come later on in the year.
Hoping to go out with a bang, with this fight being his last one for a couple of months, he says: “This is the last show of the summer so it would be good to out on a positive, winning note. It would further add to my confidence and put me in good stead for October, November time when I will be looking to push on to the next level.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
