SaddoBoxing: You’re on an eight-fight win streak at the moment, aren’t you?
Jon Thaxton: “Yeah I’m on a roll, I feel good.”
SB: The guy you are fighting on Saturday is supposed to be tough and he is unbeaten at 19-0…
JT: “Yeah, but I’m not intimidated by any lightweight. I’ve been in with Ricky Hatton for Christ’s sake!”
SB: I saw your fight with Hatton, and also with the incredibly tough Emmanuel Burton.
JT: “Yeah, (smiles) I was really killing myself at the weight. After my car crash and a rest, I feel fresh now at lightweight.”
SB: So, do you feel stronger as a lightweight? And can you make the weight easy?
JH: “Yeah, I live the life, I can eat normally as long as I train. I’m very muscular. I honestly believe my fight will be the fight of the night and people will be saying, ‘My God, did you see that?’.
SB: Well I hope so, thanks very much for your time and good luck.
JH: “Thanks a lot mate, cheers.”
