Terry Maughan believes better stamina will lead to better performances.The 25-year-old Nottingham middleweight etched win four onto his six-fight (two defeats) paid tab (and his fourth win in five) with a shut-out four-round taming of durable Waddington trier Ryan Clark at the weekend (Saturday, March 12).
Maughan, trained by Tony Harris in his home city after starting his pro career with former WBC super-middleweight boss Richie Woodhall in Birmingham, dominated the action with a solid lead left - leaving Clark (who'd held unbeaten Myles Holder to a draw two weeks ago) to be soundly out-boxed in Sleaford.
But the three-time British kick-boxing champion from Sneinton confessed he needs to up his outside-the-gym training if he's to progress successfully over the championship distances of 30 and 36 minutes.
"I want to be in this game to win titles," said the Irish-rooted East Midlander. "So i'm going to have to make sure i have the engine to go the ten and 12-round distances.
"I always train hard but i'll need to increase the frequency and intensity of my hill runs to improve my stamina. No stone will be left unturned.
"But i was happy with it [his 40-36 victory over the battle-hardened 21-year-old from Lincolnshire]. He always comes to fight, but i was too sharp and showed him too much movement.
"Hopefully, i'll be fighting again soon. I'm on a roll and have big ambitions," he added.
