Former two-time British light-welterweight champion Lenny Daws moves back into title contention when he meets Frenchman Chaquib Fadli for the vacant EU title on Saturday night.
Had it not been for the judges' scorecards, however, Daws could well have been crowned European (EBU) champion last June. Unfortunately, though, the Morden man's trip to Italy to fight Michele Di Rocco ended with him losing a contention points decision after twelve rounds.
“It's been very hard to get over that,” he said. “I've had a little look at Di Rocco again, and seen what he's been up to since we fought, and he's high up there in the rankings now. He's on the cusp of a world title shot. That's where I should be really. I should be European champion now.
