Tayside boxer wins in England
DUNDEE Amateur Boxing Club (DABC) light-heavy Adam Korczak recorded a points win in Birmingham while competing for a Scotland club select.
He won a Scottish novice title earlier in the year and DABC official Greg Menzies predicts a bright future for the 17-year-old.
“He’s a good prospect who looks handy. He has done well so far and, hopefully, his good form will continue,” said Greg.
CURRENT heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is ready to “rock and roll” with Tyson Fury whenever the former champion wants to get in the ring with him.
Fury has not fought since taking four belts from Wladimir Klitschko in September 2015 but, with his well-publicised problems with UK AntiDoping now behind him, the 29-year-old has returned to training.
The Manchester-born boxer still needs the British Boxing Board of Control to return his professional licence. However, he has spent the last week telling Joshua, in several interviews and on social media, that he will be back soon to retake the titles he was forced to give up.
Not that 28-year-old Joshua, who holds the IBF, IBO and WBA belts, has been paying much attention as he prepares for his next bout at the end of March, most likely against WBO champion Joseph Parker.
Joshua said he had not heard Fury’s latest claim that he was just a musclebound “carthorse” and these taunts were just “what I deal with in my industry”.
He added “I stay very consistent with what I’m doing and it’s up to him to get back on the gravy train.”
