Scott ‘The Gent’ Woolford’s Renaissance Continues; Faces Young Mutley On 5th February.

Determined to turn his career around Woolford regularly travels to Rooney’s Boxing Gym in South London to spar with house fighters Ben ‘The Entertainer’ Day, Karol ‘Dr KO’ Ozimkowski and Darren ‘Mr R&B’ Hamilton as well as receiving additional coaching from John Rooney Jnr.

The regular top class sparring clearly paid dividends as in his very next fight, in September ’09, he scored a resounding victory, when he stopped William Warburton in the fifth round. This was followed by another stoppage victory, over Scott Hayward, two months later.

Following one of his sparring sessions, at Rooney’s Boxing Gym, Woolford spoke briefly on his preparations for the fight and his esteemed opponent.

“Training’s been going well, been getting plenty of quality sparring. Everything’s been going well. Been working hard, training hard.

It’s a very good fight for me at the moment. Young Mutley’s been about for a long time, has a lot of experience. He’s a very good fighter. Hopefully going to cause a surprise as I am coming in as the underdog. Yeah, I’m really looking forward to it.”
