31 year old former two times Southern Area Welterweight champion – Chas “The Sparta” Symonds, is making one last attempt at gate-crashing the big time after inking a three year contract with one of the UK’s fastest growing managers – Steve Goodwin, who also heads Goodwin Promotions.
Symonds, who has not been seen since suffering back to back defeats against Bradley Skeete and Steve O’Meara, said in his own release “This (Steve Goodwin) is the man that is going to get me where I should be, that is – at the top!
“It is now or never for me. Steve has just taken me over to his team. My next fight is on 7th December at York Hall: new team, new start and new titles. I am buzzing to show what I can do.”
Steve Goodwin said, “Chas has not lived a boxer’s life. He has been living in Greece running a bar, but has met a wonderful girl Amy out there and rather than partying he wants to live the life and give it one final go.
“I will provide every opportunity for him to do it and, as I said to him, I want (when he is older) to be able to tell his grandkids that he gave it everything one last time, rather than ponder what may have been.
“Chas will be boxing on 7th December then in March. In May/June next year he will have his defining fight. I am looking forward to working with him and I welcome him to our ever expanding team.”
