LINDSAY RISKS ALL AGAINST ARTHUR

Belfast’s Lindsay (15-0) won the title last April with a sixth round stoppage of Scot Martin Lindsay in one the best domestic fights of 2009.

And now the 27-yerar-old is determined to make if a Celtic double when he tackles Welshman Jamie Arthur (16-2) in a clash that promises to be an all out war.

Lindsay is already in training camp and added: “Everything is going well except that is about -12 in the gym.

“You are training harder just to stay warm. The weather does have a bit of an effect on you roadwork but there are a few treadmills in the gym so you can still go in and tick away on them.”

Cwmbran’s Arthur is a 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, but retired from boxing in July 2005.

He returned almost three years later and has won seven fights on the bounce.

The 30-year-old earned himself the mandatory position for Lindsay’s Lonsdale belt after outpointing Akaash Bhatia in June.

He said: “The reason I came back was to win the British title and I think my challenge will be a helluva fight.”

The undercard is stacked with talent from Maloney’s and Steve Wood’s impressive VIP stable.

Among those fighting are Olympic bronze medallist David Price, former British super-middleweight champion Tony Quigley, British flyweight king Shinny Bayaar, Paul Edwards, Mark Moran, Karl Place, Rick Goddins and Kieran Farrell.
