With a fight for the vacant IBO belt scheduled for January 20, Mathews was simply so eager to continue his impressive comeback that he chose to forego the traditional Christmas spent over indulging with family for one of physical hardship with only trainer Oliver Harrison and a gym full of like minded fighters for company.

Mathews Faces Marsili For IBO Belt as Rahimov Withdraws
According to The Echo, Alisher Rahimov has withdrawn from his upcoming fight with Derry Mathews. They were scheduled to clash in January for the IBO lightweight title at the Olympia. Rahimov is reportedly going to accept a bout against Ji Hoon Kim in America, with the WBC silver belt at stake. Rahimov had signed a contract to fight Mathews and his withdrawal to take an alternate fight may set the stage for a future legal dispute. Mathews' promoter has managed to secure unbeaten Italian Emiliano Marsili, 35-years-old with a record of 29-0-1 record. Former champion Steve Forbes is scheduled to make his British debut on the Mathews-Marsili undercard, against Ryan Barrett over eight rounds.

Rees: There Won't Be No Stamina Issue With Mathews
Gavin Rees, who faces Derry Matthews on Saturday, says there will be no repeat of the alarming burn-out that almost cost him victory in his previous fight.
