Game Overview
Leli Buttigieg, an undefeated young prospect (9-0), faces seasoned veteran Christian Schembri (27-12-1) in an 8-round middleweight fight.

Schembri brings experience, height, and resilience but has shown signs of struggle under Buttigiegβs pressure.
Key Factors to Consider
- Buttigieg has steadily progressed undefeated but lacks knockout power; Schembri has a mixed record with notable experience but has lost decisively to younger fighters recently. Buttigieg dominated the recent encounter with a 79-73 card win showing control of pace and damage inflicted.
- No prior head-to-head fights between the two; however, in their recent bout, Buttigieg controlled the fight by body attacking and maintaining pressure, causing Schembri to hold and receive warnings.
- Buttigieg suffered a scalp cut from a clash of heads but remained effective. No known injuries reported for Schembri; however, he appeared uncomfortable after early body shots in the recent fight.
- Fight takes place at York Hall, a venue familiar to Buttigieg, who has previously fought there with success. Schembri is fighting away from home which may affect his performance slightly. Motivational and training conditions appear solid for both with strong camps.
- Buttigieg motivated to maintain undefeated record and build momentum in his rising career. Schembri motivated by veteran pride and experience but may be nearing the decline phase of his career.
