"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
