The Other Stars of the Show

Rocky Fielding continued his winning ways in his hometown last night with another valuable 6 rounds under his belt. A points win over tough guy Jamie Ambler moves Rocky’s Professional record to 7-0. The Light Heavyweight Prizefighter champion we and truly put his name amongst the Liverpool elite last night and long may it continue. Following in the foot steps of fellow Liverpudlian and stable mate Tony Bellew Rocky has his sights on conquering the Light Heavyweight division.

You may be cynical and say he’s along way off European or world glory yet but at only 23 years old Rocky has the credentials be make a big name for him and I would not doubt domestic honours beckon.

Callum Johnson did not disappoint in his first bout under new trainer Joe Gallagher going the scheduled 4 rounds with Lee Duncan and coming away with the W. Still very much a toddler in the professional ranks but with a Good professional outlook Callum Johnson is a name you will be hearing plenty in the near future.

Much to his credit and commitment to the cause Callum is said to be heading straight back into the Denton Gym tomorrow and plans to be back in the ring come September, “watch this space”
 
Another successful Liverpool prospect found there’s not a great deal to this winning lark is Middleweight Joe Selkirk. 7-0 Selkirk made light work of Birmingham’s Terry Carruthers claiming a first round TKO win.

Selkirk barely gave us time to admire his skills but what we did see was a deadly left hand and a right hand that seemed more than capable of playing the support act. Another young hopeful from Liverpool at only 25 years old and yet another fighter from Liverpool to keep an eye on. I fear I may have to leave my North East surroundings and move to Liverpool just to keep up with the talent that is emerging from the fine sporting city.
