John McDermott and Ali Adams pose after sparring
Chelsea based Iraqi Heavyweight Ali Adams has called in the big guns, in the form of Southern Area Heavyweight Champion ‘Big’ John McDermott, to help him prepare for his upcoming fight, against a yet to be named opponent, at the Olivia Goodwin Main Events promoted ‘Search & Destroy’ double title headed super show, at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Saturday 4th June 2011.
 
Adams, the World’s only Arab Heavyweight professional boxer, turned to his friend John McDermott for sparring to ensure he is fully prepared for whoever he faces on June 4th. Adams has been firm in stating that he intends to not just win, but win big time, as he is dedicating the fight to his Father who recently past away.
 
Those in attendance at the TKO Boxing Gym in Canning Town, during their first sparring session, were treated to some top notch boxing.
 
Right from the first bell both Adams and McDermott started trading hard, as the rounds went on both raised their game to a higher level. The quality of the boxing on display brought all training at the gym to a halt, as every single fighter present downed gloves to watch. As the final bell rang their work ethic and undoubted skill was rewarded with a standing ovation.
 
Fighters and Coaches watch on as John McDermott and Ali Adams spar
 
Following the sparring session a slightly breathless, yet elated, Adams said, “John McDermott, I always have special spar with John. He’s a very good fighter, I thank him big time for coming sparring and helping me. He’s a really good come forward fighter. He gives me a lot of pressure and stuff so it’s really good for my next fight.
 
I don’t know who I’m fighting yet, but I’m knocking the kid out. No matter who he is I’m knocking him out first, second round, because this fight is for my Father.
 
My father just passed away, I just came back from Iraq. I was in in Iraq for five weeks and I came back three weeks ago.
 
Soon as I came back Johnny (Eames) talked to me about being reserve in Prizefighter and I accepted it. Then I trained.
 
I started training from three weeks ago and I’ve got two weeks to the fight, so I’ll be super fit, not just fit, super fit. No boxing I’m going out there just to knock the kid out, proper fighting you know, real boxing. Yeah, I’m looking forward to it, I can’t wait.”
