Watson: "I'm gunning for O'Donnell so he better be ready"
Hennessy Sports24th December, 2010
LONDON (December 24th, 2010) - The two weight Commonwealth champion Craig Watson has issued a warning to his rival John O'Donnell ahead of their British Welterweight title battle at Wembley Arena on Saturday 5th February 2011 "I'm gunning for him, so he better be ready. "
With only 5 weeks to go Manchester's current Commonwealth Light Middleweight champion who lost to O'Donnell back in April 2009 on a split decision has made sure this time round he is fully prepared and not suffering from inactivity.
"I could have done more gym work, and hadn't boxed in 11 months prior to that fight and was a bit ring rusty, but even after all of my problems I still thought I had done enough to win by 2 rounds."
"But this time I feel stronger than ever, I've had 4 stoppages in my last 6 fights; I even won the Commonwealth Light Middleweight title with only 2 days notice so I'm not going to leave anything to chance and have been hitting the gym twice a day".
"This time I'm going to score a KO" Said Watson.
The second title fight of the night will see Morden's Lenny Daws defending his British Light Welterweight title for a 3rd time against Paddington's Ashley Theophane.
To add spice to this already great event Londoner Dazzling Darren Barker the current British and former unbeaten Commonwealth and European Middleweight Champion will also be making his debut at Wembley Arena with an international opponent being lined up over 10 rounds.
Commonwealth title challenger Lee "Lights Out" Purdy and former Southern Area Champion Kreshnik Qato will both be in back in action.
Joining these fighters at Wembley will be a host of talented young boxers including Haddenham's Tornado Tyler Goodjohn, Islington's John "the Gorilla" Ryder, Phill Fury of Lancaster and Chris "Flash" Evangelou of Enfield.
