Usman Ahmed could set up a Midland Area title crack with victory on Sunday [December 4].
The willing Derby super-flyweight [pictured on the attack against Don Broadhurst in October's 8st 5lbs Prizefighter] goes to work over four at Whitwick's Hermitage Leisure Centre with renewed zest since linking up with Dominic Ingle.
Ahmed crosses swords with durable South Yorkshire-based Kuwaiti Anwar Alfadli on Clifton Mitchell's bill in Leicestershire this weekend and win seven [five defeats and one draw in good company] could potentially earn the 30-year-old a 2012 super-flyweight title showdown with Northampton's Nathan Reeve.
Though the former British and Commonwealth title challenger is without a win in his last three starts, albeit to former Commonwealth boss Broadhurst, improving Irishman Luke Wilton [who Uzzy had previously outpointed] and big-hitting English monarch Ashley Sexton, he's a neat little boxer who ended the unbeaten run of touted former ABA champion Kyle King.
But he believes that shifting his training allegiances from the hometown distractions of Derby to the Steel City [46 miles away] could kick-start his boxing resurrection. "The move to do my training with the Ingles has really paid off," admitted an East Midlander whose fearlessness was demonstrated when he took on Chris Edwards, two fights before he won the British title, on his paid bow.
"Training has been going well and i feel better than ever.
"But whoever i fight, be it on Sunday or in the future, is irrelevent to me, really. I'll box whoever is put in front of me and my ability will help me to do the job," he added.
