Battle Of The Undefeated – Wadi Camacho: Someone’s ‘O’ Is Gonna Go, It
Wont Be Mine
Canning Town’s rising Cruiserweight star Wadi ‘Machoman’ Camacho makes his
fifth professional outing this coming Saturday, at the Eddie Hearn
promoted ‘London Calling’ event at Alexandra Palace, headlined by Lee
‘Lights Out’ Purdy versus unbeaten Argentinean Gumersindo Lucas Carrasco
for the vacant IBF International Welterweight title.
Wadi’s opponent on Saturday will be Long Eaton’s Andy ‘The Assassin’
Ingram, who like Wadi is unbeaten as a professional, but perhaps more
importantly beat former British Cruiserweight Champion, and upcoming
British title challenger, Shane McPhilbin in his debut bout.
Wadi. who has wins over Moses Matovu, Rolandas Cesna, Igor Borucha and
Paul Morris appeared unfazed by his opponents major scalp, as following
one of his final training sessions – under the watchful eyes of
Manager/Coach Bryan Lawrence at the TRAD TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town –
he said.
“Yeah I’m really looking forward to it so much, it’s good that I’m being
busy and I’ve already got my fifth fight coming up and it’s going to be a
fantastic win.
We’re both unbeaten, so someone’s ‘0’ is gonna go, it wont be mine though.
I’m still doing the basic work, you know, keep popping that jab followed
by flurry shots. I’m still keeping it to the gameplan, keeping all behind
the southpaw jab so they don’t know when the left hand comes over the top.
Good stuff.
The sparring down here at the TRAD TKO has been excellent, been sparring a
couple of the Cruiserweights we’ve got down here in the gym and also a
Heavyweight that’s been pushing me, putting me into all awkward positions.
I’ve been handling it really well.
I carry some massive power which helps when you sparring a big Heavyweight
that comes in at over eighteen stone.
It’s going to be a great show, Just from the TRAD TKO we’ve got Erick ‘The
Eagle’ Ochieng, who will be defending his English title and Danny Connor
will be fighting for the Southern Area title.
We’ve got a great team boxing out of the TRAD TKO, it’s a big family, yeah
we just work hard, all go running. I know Erick is lighter but have to
keep up with him, which brings my fitness level up as well.
Personally the way Erick is looking now, he’s really lean, sharp, strong
as well I think once he defends this now I think he should start moving
onto bigger and better things.
If Danny wins the Southern Area that will be wicked, I know he’s got the
Masters title at the moment but him going for the Southern Area is
fantastic. I know he trains really hard and for him to achieve that and
bring yet another title to the TRAD TKO would be wicked as well.
I definitely want to focus on my goal and bring a title back here in the
future, I really want a Lonsdale Belt around my waist, but my gong for the
British title is a little way off yet so hopefully I’ll get the chance to
fight for the Southern Area title sometime next year, which is what I
want. You know, win the Southern Area, defend it a couple of times and
then move on to the British.
Right now though I’m concentrating on this fight coming up, Andy Ingram’s
unbeaten also so I need to really be on my game. I’m going to do the
business on him and then move on.
Now listen, Ally Pally 8th September it’s gonna be explosive, we’ve got
such a massive bill, six title fights and some great undercard fights as
well. It’s just going to be amazing, so please come down and support
everyone, especially AKA ‘Machoman’ because I’m going to bring along some
beautiful ladies as well – Yeah Buddy!”
