Carl Dilks will be gunning for the Master’s title when he takes on Sheffield’s Billy Boyle at the Wigan Park Arena next Saturday. Dilks took part in the light-heavyweight version of Prizefighter in February and looked set to contest the final with Tony Oakey. Unfortunately, a miscalculation in the scoring of his semi-final with Darren Stubbs saw Dilks belatedly declared the loser of that match, much to his disgust and disappointment.
Liverpool’s Dilks is 12-1 (4); he is a languid boxer with nice skills and all the attributes needed to go far in the sport. Boyle is 12-2 (7), he recently lost to the in-form Nathan Cleverly; he will be Dilks’ toughest test to date.
Carl has told The Liverpool Echo that he is raring to go ahead of the contest. “I can’t wait for the fight,” he said. “I am really looking forward to this test and winning the Masters title.”
