Former British light middleweight champion Brian Rose will stand on the threshold of a shot at the world title if he beats Javier Maciel on the Kell Brook-Vyacheslaw Senchenko undercard in Sheffield on October 26th. Victory would see him lined up to face the winner of next month’s clash for the vacant belt between Demetrius Andrade and Vanes Martirosyan.
After a difficult few months of struggling with lower back spasms, it’s a challenge Rose says he is ready for. “Camp has been going really well,” he said. “I’ve been doing stuff in the gym that I haven’t been able to do in the last year. It’s made me realise that my back has been a lot worse than I realised.”
Rose’s problems began during preparations for his British title defence against Sam Webb last December, and continued for his April clash with former world champion Joachim Alcine. However, against Aleksey Ribchev in June, the back broke down completely, going into spasm early in their 10-rounder.
“The back had affected my training, because I was holding things back, but it had never gone in a fight before,” said Rose. “That’s why you saw me just plodding around, being safe, winning the fight behind my jab. I just had to get through it.” [Click Here To Read More]
