Heard this great news today and I've been given this opportunity to box abroad on a decent card which usually has semi pro and pro fights on it. I'm fighting somebody called Richard Vella, who knocked out James Higgy who I boxed last time and lost a very close points decision to. I've heard that Higgy was safely out boxing Vella until the 5th round and he got caught with a body shot and it ended him. I've heard that's Higgys weak point and they capatilised on it.
In terms of me fighting Vella, I wasn't out of my depth at all with Higgy so i think this will make it an interesting fight. It's either going to be 4 or 6 rounds, I've still not heard yet. I am also fighting at 168. I am currently 171 and have lost a stone nearly since my last fight with Higgy. I've been straight back to the gym and still have that desire to win. I felt like I should of had the decision last time but this is boxing and it doesn't always go your way.
I'll have to be on top form if I'm going to win abroad on his home show, but I'm again once again taking the challenge and pushing myself even harder in training. I'm feeling even better now that I am approaching supermiddleweight and I still have a lot of preparation time for this.
I can't wait guys it's going to be a fantastic experience for me and it will continue my drive in boxing. I could potentially have one fight in between this one but I'm not sure yet I'll keep you up to date.
