Anthony Tomlinson believes he is on the verge of breaking through into the British Welterweight scene and insists he is a gamble for his rivals.
Former Central Area champion, Tomlinson (12-0, 7 KOs) is targeting a return to the ring in an eight rounder in March, having not fought since stopping Stewart Burt in the ninth round at the Sheffield Arena in February.
The undefeated Sheffield man, who has recently moved back to his old amateur gym, following an amicable split from trainer Stefy Bull is fully confident he will be considered amongst a thriving British scene, which includes Conor Benn, Josh Kelly, Chris Kongo and Michael McKinson to name a few.
“I can’t wait to show everyone what I’ve been learning,” Tomlinson told proboxing-fans.com.
“I feel like my next fight could be a massive breakthrough fight.
“I feel like I’m a massive risk to all these kids that are in the top ten of the Welterweight division.
“If you look at me, like you say, I’m a big puncher, I can fight, I leave all my heart in the ring and like you say, I won’t turn no fight down.
“I don’t really bring much to the table, because they have the platform and they have the belts and stuff like that, so for them to get beat by somebody like me, that’s going to push them right back, but that showcases to everybody what I can do and I’m more than capable to mix it with the best in Britain.”
