Steve Wood’s Victoria Warehouse [Manchester] card on September 15 is hotting up with charge Danny Wright stepping up on the hunt for domestic honours during the coming season.
Wright is currently 9-0, 4 KO’s, as he heads into the bout against Hungarian Zoltan Szabo, 25-12, 11 KO’s, which will be streamed live on vipboxing.tv, Wood, who has guided countless fighters to title successes – most recently, Commonwealth featherweight Champ, Ryan Doyle – is convinced the Failsworth fighter will add more titles to the VIP Promotions’ ‘Hall of Fame’.
Fancied Stretford prospect Bradley Rea also makes his debut on the card. The 20yo former ABA junior champion and England International is setting his sights frimly on a Lonsdale belt since signing with Wood’s VIP stable.
“I’m over the moon to be with VIP,” Rea told DAILY SPORT Boxing “I’ve been going to VIP shows since I was a kid, and the Victoria Warehouse is just around the corner from me. It’s great to be a part of the stable. I did have a few options, but I’ve seen what Steve [Wood] has done with some of the fighters he’s had, and I think he’s the best man to get me where I want to go.
“I’m just starting out, but before I retire I want the British Title outright, and that’s a minimum. Anything after that is a bonus. I’m only young but by the time I hit the back end of my 20s, I believe I’ll be able to compete at world level. I’ve had 97 amateur fights, so I’m already an experienced boxer. I want to be in big fights, but I have time on my side and am more than happy with learning fights at the moment.”
