NATH WANTS BELT FOR HIS BABY

- BY MARTIN DOMIN

NATHAN GORMAN insists that facing Daniel

Dubois will be child’s play compared to his daughter’s birth.

Baby Valencia was due to be born tomorrow when

Gorman battles Dubois for the British heavyweigh­t title. But she arrived four days early, leaving Gorman free to focus on Dubois, who has knocked out 10 of his 11 opponents – including seven in the opening two rounds.

Gorman (left) said: “Luckily, I was at home because my plan was to travel to London on Tuesday and she was born at 5am that morning. She was due on Saturday, and if she had held on for that I still would have fought. I had told my wife that, as horrible as it sounds.

“Watching a baby being born is a lot more scary than facing Dubois. And I have extra motivation now as I promised her the British belt and I cannot break that.”
