Norfolk's fighting Walsh brothers have vowed to emulate Norwich City - and become champions by the end of the year.

 

The Canaries have just gained promition to the Championship, and barring a miracle will be crowned First Division champions at the end of the season.

 

And Ryan, Liam and Michael Walsh have vowed to keep the region's sporting profile flying high by blazing their way to titles during 2010.

 

The exciting trio appear at West Ham's Upton Park football ground on May 15 as part of the undercard to Kevin Mitchell's interim WBO lightweight title challenge against Michael Katsidis live on Sky Sports 1.

 

With their boxing apprenticeships nearly over, the unbeaten brothers are pleading with promoter Frank Warren to be let off the leash.

 

"We're ready for titles, sooner rather than later," said 25-year-old Michael Walsh, who has finished off all seven of his opponents inside the distance.

 

"Norwich City going back up to the Championship has created a real buzz, but there will be more sporting success to come.

 

"After a couple more fights all three of us will be ready for titles. We're pushing each other every day in the gym, and we've improved so much since we first turned professional."

 

Little brother Ryan, who has won nine out of nine, added: "We've had some good boxers down here recently, including the likes of Herbie Hide and Jon Thaxton.

 

"Now it's time for the next generation to come through. Along with Sam Sexton, we're planning to make big waves over the next few years. We will definitely be ready for championship fights by the end of 2010."

 

Liam, Ryan's twin, said: "It meant a lot to us when Frank Warren included us in his 10 fighters to watch for the coming decade, and we won't let him down. I'm ready for anyone at lightweight in the country."

 

'Hammer Time' is headlined by Kevin Mitchell's challenge for the WBO Interim World Lightweight Championship against Michael Katsidis. A quality packed undercard includes the British and Commonwealth Heavyweight Championship between Danny Williams and Sam Sexton; Olympic Gold medallist James DeGale challenges for the first title in his career - the WBA International Super-Middleweight Championship; unbeaten heavyweight star Derek Chisora; and Britain's hottest young prospects Frankie Gavin and Billy Joe Saunders.
