Ringnews24.com: You were trained exclusively by your brother Eddie but recently added MGM ‘s Danny Vaughan to your camp as head trainer; how do the two work together?
They both them work off each other at the moment. Danny is just picking up on things Eddie has been doing with me, and putting his bit into what he thinks could progress me as a fighter. Danny is the main man now but my brother will still be in my corner for every fight. Danny was happy for Eddie to still be a part of the team.
Ringnews24.com: Since switching trainers what have you been working on most? and how are you adapting to the change of routine?
There’s loads for me to improve on so I’ve just been working on a few things at a time to help me improve as a boxer. Most of the changes weren’t too hard although a few of the things were – really hard – but it’s all for the best.
Ringnews24.com: What has impressed you most at the MGM gym?
The people at MGM are really nice guys they made me feel so welcome but the gym in overall is the best gym I’ve seen – it’s got everything a boxer dreams of.
Ringnews24.com: You have a fight coming up against Isaac Quaye on June 6th at the Ravenscraig Regional Sports Facility. Quaye has 16 knockouts from 25 fight wins are you worried about his punching power?
I always worry about punch power because any man in between those ropes can get hurt, but that’s only on paper; wait till fight night and Quaye will find out I punch a lot harder than him.
Ringnews24.com: Who have you been sparring in preparation for Quaye?
I’ve been mixing up my sparring. I’ve been doing rounds in MGM gym and I went down to Liverpool. I am now back home with my last couple of spars, so loads of different boys helped me out – thanks to them.
Ringnews24.com: Have you seen much footage of Quaye and what do you think of him as a fighter?
Only seen him fight Kevin Satchell because you are only as good as your last fight! I think he’s tough and awkward to hit but he is there to be hurt as the fight goes on longer.

Ringnews24.com: After your victory, are there any fighters you would like to call out?
After this fight my next fight will be for the British title against whoever the board give me to box. I don’t need to call anyone out – they need me more than I need them – but I’ll box anyone in Britain or Europe.
Ringnews24.com: Is there any new news on your rematch with Kevin Satchell?
The fight with Kevin isn’t happening as he is mandatory to fight for the European title. Maybe we can fight next year in a bigger fight, but I wish him all best in the fight for the European title.
