Bruce Carrington is hoping for a WBC featherweight title shot, but he will value activity over waiting. 

Last week, Carrington knocked out Enrique Vivas in the third round to win a WBC featherweight final eliminator in Las Vegas. That fight now puts him in a good situation, but his division is log-jammed. 

Carrington is the No.1 contender. Stephen Fulton Jnr holds the WBC featherweight title, while Rey Vargas is champion-in-recess. The other titleholders appear to have already had fights in the works. Carrington outlined all that he knows about his immediate future and told BoxingScene: “At the moment, I don't know. I'm hearing that Stephen Fulton is going to go up to fight O’Shaquie Foster [the WBC junior lightweight titleholder] unless the WBC can mandate me to fight Stephen Fulton for the WBC title. If that doesn't happen, then hopefully we can find a way for me to fight Rey Vargas, and if Fulton goes up to 130lbs maybe Rey Vargas and I could fight for the vacant full title.”

As for his return, Carrington, the 27-year-old from New York City, who trains in Las Vegas, was clear when he’d be back but whether it is in a title bout or not is uncertain.  

“I’m fighting in the summer,” Carrington said. ”It can be pretty frustrating, especially when my ambitions are to fight for a world title this year,” Carrington added. “It’s going to happen at some point in time. The champions don't want to risk losing their title, and I take that as a compliment because they recognize me as a big risk. The time will come and I just have to be patient, but not too patient.”

Carrington moved up the ranks quickly, but he didn’t plan on being fast-tracked to a title.

“I honestly was coming into the [professional] game not minding to take it a little slower,” Carrington said. “Things happen where your ambitions change. It wasn't because of my age. It's just more so I want to fight for these world titles now. I'm ready.”

“I've worked with certain world champions in my division, and it gave me the confidence to be like, I want to fight for these guys now and continue to make a statement.  I'm the best in the game,” Carrington said. 

Carrington is looking to stay active no matter what.

“I hate sitting out of the ring for too long,” Carrington said. “It keeps me on my toes. It keeps me sharp.”
