"NEAR THE END"

Well we are on the home straight now and I'm really looking forward to the weigh in and then all is left is the fight. I really think I have a very tough fight in sorkitti but a challenge I'm really looking forward to. This week is a taper off week and about making the weight and freshening the body up, so far all is going to plan.
I finished my sparring off on Saturday with my mate Adam Partridge, we did 6 good rounds.
Once again I have been lucky enough to get some great sponsors on board and be part of my boxing journey and with out these great people I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing today.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I have A E Smith, Hawley Constructions and some new sponsors on board are Luke from blitz cleaning services and also my mate Greg Wallace and his team from Liberation Security and Investigation, Rightcross and Nige, Paul and the boys from Madison Sport, I can't thank all these great people enough.
Also as always I have my good friend and my promoter Angelo Di Carlo chasing the best avenues for me and really supporting me in my boxing career. Steve Jans again from Kenmore Centre For Health has had to do a bit more work on me as has my massues Laurelea Moss.
A huge thank you also to my trainers, Mark and Gareth, my family, my Mum and Meggsie for their help with my kids, Huia, Steve Morgan, my club, Brian Kirwan, my sparring partners, all my supporters and boxing supporters in general.
Hope to see you all at the fights, I'll need all the support I can get for this fight.
Take care
Chris

"READY TO GO AGAIN"

Hi all, well here we go again. In 2 weeks time(27th Oct) I'll be back in the ring at the home of boxing, the Mansfield Tavern on my good mate Angelo di Carlo's first Fox televised show.
It's certainly been a real struggle getting everything together for this fight, firstly getting an opponent was so hard and Angelo has worked his butt of trying to secure one for me and along with my trainers (Mark and Gareth) have come up with Kongthawat Sorkitti, a rough and tough Thai with a record of 62 fights, 33 wins (21KO's), 28 losses and 1 draw. He's a seasoned pro who has been in with all the top Aussie fighters, Sorkitti is a former WBF world Champion and will certainly give me a tough fight and one I'm really looking forward to.
Training wise was a real struggle early on in preparation, I just couldn't find the will and reason to find serious pain in training. It was properly now a good thing, even though I was still training hard, in my mind I wasn't dying, but now I feel very fresh and very fit again can now say on a few occasions in the last couple of weeks I thought I was dead because it couldn't be possible to feel so much pain and fatigue. Not having an opponent for so long didn't help. I've had some top line quality sparring, I spent a couple of days up in Toowoomba with Brendan Smith and Mick Katsidis sparring Mick, something that really helped get me on track for my fight. My good mate Mick Shaw really gave me a wake up call in one sparring session last week and I now feel much better for it, he was as sharp as I've ever seen him and once again we are doing a lot of sparring together, look out for him to really bounce back with a vengeance. Also had some good rounds with rising prospect and mate Adam "Adam Bomb" Partridge who was in fine form last Friday night with a demolition of young pro Jason Schubert, Also had some good solid rounds with amateurs Ashley Huston, Graham Foley, and Will Young(remember this kids name, he'll turn up in the pro ranks soon and is trained by the very likeable and good mate of mine Craig "the mongrel Monigle").
Once again I couldn't go ahead with my dream without my sponsors. And for this fight so far We have again the great Butch Buderus from AE Smith, Hawley constructions, my good mate Greg Wallace is trying to pull something together again as well, and as usual I have Madison Sport, Rightcross, and some good help from my massues Laurelea Moss and also Steve Janz again from Kenmore Centre for Health. Hopefully I can get their names out there on Fox and show people that these great people and company's are alive and well in their support of me and boxing.
I'll keep everyone up dated till the fight and I hope to hear from you and see you all at the fight.
Take care, your friend
Chris
