Reece will socket to ’em

- ® by CHRIS McKENNA

BRIGHT spark Reece Bellotti is hoping to light up the featherwei­ght division.

The Watford fighter challenges Commonweal­th champion Jason Cunningham at York Hall tonight.

Bellotti, who works as an electricia­n on movie sets when he’s not training, is unbeaten in 10 profession­al bouts.

But he dreams of mixing it with the likes of former WBA champion Carl Frampton, IBF title-holder Lee Selby and Josh Warrington on the world scene. He said: “I see them being quite high up on the scene.

“I have sparred Frampton before and didn’t see myself a million miles away from him.

“But of course he has been a world champion so I am quite a way off, but I’m going in the right direction.”
