Comments Thread For: Junior Witter Rededicated, Chasing One More Big Chance

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Many of the rivals who once ran from him may be long-gone into retirement, but former world champion Junior Witter insists he is still fighting fit and targeting another major title shot at the age of 41.

Witter will travel to the Cote d'Azur to face Ahmed El Mousaoui for the EU welterweight belt on April 17 in a fight he hopes can provide a springboard back towards the global level he once graced with such aplomb.

It is nine years since Witter made good on his early career promise by dethroning DeMarcus Corley to win the WBC light-welterweight title at Alexandra Palace in London and throw out a challenge to domestic rival Ricky Hatton.

Too late to make an impact now but it's got to be said, the way Khan is avoiding Brook reminds me very much of how Hatton did the same to you.

Junior Witter? It's been years since I've heard that name, and he was finished then.

i was discussing the hatton/witter rivalry by comparison only yesterday with a pal and i believe that its a role reversal in that the prominent fellah (ricky) was very much liked with junior kinda trailing, kell brook (who is much liked here in england) seems to be kinda trailing khan who is the more prominent but held in far less esteem than ricky.
all that will change when khan has to try and go through either kell or keith thurman. truth be known i would much rather see khan get knocked out clean and quick by thurman and hopefully....hopefully its bye bye greedy boy.

hope he gets a decent payday but his time is up. he is irrelevant in the grand scheme of things.

This is only happening due to Kell Brook's success. I'm only surprized that John H.Stracey & Lloyd Honeyguin haven't been rumoured to be coming out of retirement!

Screw the belt ... Get Hatton in there. That's more money than either of those guys will see at this point in their lives regardless of what they've got going on right now...

Put Gamboa vs Juanma on the undercard.
That does about 100k in PPv buys @$25 a pop!
