Boy Jones Jr says he is feeling fitter and stronger than ever after making the jump from Super-Featherweight to Lightweight.

The former Southern Area 130lbs Champion returns to the ring on Frank Warren's bumper 'Untouchables' card at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday 10th February and is aiming to impress at his new weight.

"My body is finally starting to fill out and I felt it was the right time to move up to 135lbs," said Jones Jr. "I sat down with my trainer Dominic Negus and it was an easy decision to make. I had a lot of success at Super-Feather but my power just seemed to drain from my body as soon as I made weight.

"I've had a good break since I last fought in September. I'm filling into the weight and getting stronger with each session in the gym. I look better and I feel healthier - my mum has wanted me to move up in weight for a while!

"I've been sparring with Rio 2016 Olympian Joe Cordina and I'm definitely starting to find my 'man' power. I feel stronger and meaner at the weight and I don't fade at all as the rounds go on which was a problem in the Poxton fight."

The angel-faced assassin picked up his first professional title at the tender age of 19 when he dominated Martin Hillman to win the Southern Area belt in front of a capacity crowd at the Brentwood Centre, live on BoxNation, in November 2016.

He suffered his first career loss to Lowestoft warrior Craig Poxton in his next fight at York Hall in a Fight of the Year contender but bounced back with wins over Norbert Kalucza, Andis Didzus and Ibrar Riyaz, and will aim to kick-start 2018 with a big performance in East London.

"One of the most talent deep divisions at domestic level is the Lightweight class and I'll be looking to throw my name into the mix. There’s some great fights out there for me this year but first of all I can’t wait to perform at the Copper Box Arena on February 10th.

"I always say it but people need to realise that I only had a handful of unlicensed fights before I turned pro back in 2015. I've had a lot of fights for a 21-year-old and I'm constantly learning and improving. This is the year that everyone will get to see the real Boy Jones Jnr."

Ilford Super-Welterweight talent Hamzah Sheeraz is aiming to win his first professional title in 2018, despite only making his professional debut in September.

The three-time national junior finalist made a dream start to life in the paid ranks, stopping durable Norwich rival Duane Green on the undercard of Billy Joe Saunders’ World title win over Willie Monroe Jr.

Sheeraz, 18, knocked out 35-year-old Green in the second round at the Copper Box Arena, and returns to the same venue for his second professional contest on Saturday 10th February.

“We’re taking things step by step but I’m confident in my abilities and winning my first professional title in 2018 isn’t an unrealistic goal,” said the gifted teenager. “The plan is to go for an area title and then take it from there.

“After working hard in the gym for months it felt great stopping a tough fighter like Green. He had never been knocked out before so it was a big statement to make so early on in my career.

“The whole experience of my debut was amazing and I was grateful to be supported by over 300 fans in the arena. I can’t wait to get back under the lights on another World title show next month, I’ll be brining a big crowd with me.”

Developed by veteran trainer Lenny Butcher at Harrold Hill’s Five Star Boxing Club alongside Frank Warren stablemates Sanjeev Sahota and Harley Benn, 6ft 2in Sheeraz says he has the perfect team around him to achieve his dreams.

“There’s a great atmosphere in our gym and we all bounce off each other. Me and Harley are learning a lot together and Sanjeev is a bit ahead of us in his career, hopefully he’ll be fighting for his first title in 2018 as well.

“I’m learning to set my feet more and work inside. I do a lot of in house sparring with Sanjeev and Harley and I’m constantly learning and improving in the gym. 2018 is going to be a huge year for me and I want to start it by winning in style again next month.”

Tim-Robin Lihaug (16-4, 9 KOs) has vowed to get his career back on track with a victory over Vasyl Kondor (18-18-1, 5 KOs) on February 3 at the SØR Amfi in Arendal as the Bergen-boxer targets a hometown title fight in 2018.

Lihaug, a flag-bearer for Norwegian boxing, has made his name with memorable victories over domestic rivals Simen Smaadal and Arne Ernstsen, a successful WBO Youth Super Middleweight title challenge and a brave attempt at the WBO International Super Middleweight strap versus former two-weight World ruler 'King' Arthur Abraham.

2017, however, saw the talented 25 year-old suffer back-to-back losses to Tomas Adamek at the Oslo Spektrum and Sergey Gorokhov on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series quarter-final clash between Mairis Briedis and Mike Perez in Riga.

Despite these defeats, Lihaug believes he still has more to give and has pledged to make a successful comeback in his eight-round light heavyweight contest at the SØR Amfi in Arendal on the undercard Kai Robin Havnaa’s homecoming fight with Marino Goles.

“I’m looking forward to getting back into the ring and getting my career back on track,” said Lihaug. “I lost twice last year against good opponents but I don’t want to focus on those fights. It’s what happens next that matters. I know what I’m capable of. I still have a lot of drive and ambition, and I still believe in myself.

“For me, this is the most important fight of my career. Vasyl Kondor is a guy with a lot of experience. He’s gone the distance with some good boxers and he will be coming to win. But I’m not messing around. It’s time for me to go to work for real. I need this victory.

“This year I want to find my rhythm, get some good wins and then challenge for a title. At the end of 2018, I want to be able to say that I’ve turned my career around and that my future is now brighter than ever.

“My dream has always been to box at home in Bergen, and of course, I still want to achieve that. If I win this fight I believe I will be back on track. Then I would like to fight for a title at home in Bergen by the end of this year.”

Lihaug meets Kondor as part of an action-packed Nordic Fight Night event at the SØR Amfi in Arendal featuring Kai Robin Havnaa alongside countrymen Kevin Melhus, Simen Nysaether, Hadi Srour and Aron Janhnsen plus German heavyweight Albon Pervizaj.
