Just to say well done to promoter Bobby Anderson who is staging the upcoming IKF World Amateur light-middleweight title fight on 9th Jan. It features Chris Cichon against English fighter Alex Sirman and its nice to see a true international contest for this title. Having brought more than a few international fighters to my own events over the years including quite a few from America I appreciate more than most how hard it can be to stage these sort of fights, so Bobby deserves some praise for putting it on. It would be great to see more promoters following his example.

As for the fight itself, I am sure Alex will represent our country well but I am sure Chris and the guys from Cellar will be well prepared so good luck to all concerned. Just sorry I won't be there
