37 and Feeling Phenomenal: Heaney Eyes World Title
28 Mar
Summary
- The boxer is in phenomenal condition after his fight was postponed.
- He hopes a win will lead to a world title fight.
- Heaney is turning 37 the week after his upcoming fight.
Nathan Heaney believes the extended wait for his WBA Continental Middleweight fight against Gerome Warburton has allowed him to achieve phenomenal physical condition. The bout was postponed due to an injury sustained by another fighter, Moses Itauma. Initially, Heaney found the prospect of a 10-week delay daunting, but he now states the time has passed quickly.
Heaney, who will turn 37 the week after his rescheduled fight, is confident that a victory on Saturday in Manchester will propel him toward a world title opportunity. He expressed his strong desire to win and return to his hometown of Stoke as a world champion, suggesting his opponent's team may underestimate him due to his age.
