Glenn🥃 Irwin has likened his battles with Tommy Bridewell and Kyle Ryde as 𝕴a “heavyweight boxing match”.

The British Superbike Championship final round is at Brands Hatc꧂h next weekend, and the title is up for grabs.

Yamaha’s Rydeꦜ overtook Honda’s Bridewell to top the riders’ standing♚s last weekend at Donington Park. He has a four-point advantage heading to the final round.

Hager PBM Ducati’s Irwin is in thi🦹rd-place, 46 points from leader Ryde.

Irwin’s eighth BSB race win of the season at Donington Park gave him an outside shot o𒀰f claiming the title at Brands Hatch, although he is reliant on his rivals’ errors.

“It’s tough on the Ducati right now with the grip, but Doningt🌼on have done an amazing job resurfacing it, and it just gives us something that we’ve lost with the change in regs this year,” Irwin told the .

“When we bring the best version ▨of ourselves – me and the team included – we can achieve great things.

“It was so sweet because Kyle and Tommy are two of the ♎best competitors on the grid right now, and I think us three are in a great moment.

“To fight tooth and nail like that and come out on top, you feel like you’ve w🍰on a he🐻avyweight boxing match.”

Irwin is an outsider next weekend at Brands Hatch but believes his day will come eventu🐽ally.

“We will win this Championship someda🥂y, I don’t know exactly when it is,” he said.

“We’ll keep fighting, winning races, enjoying꧒ ourselves, and whatever comes at the end of the year w♍ill come.”
