Watson in line for a crack at International Masters title

GUERNSEY super-flyweight Bradley Watson is heading for world-title contention.

Published

Manager Mickey Helliet has told Watson a ninth straight win at the Camden Centre in London on Friday 30 May should lead to a crack at the vacant International Masters title.

If the 23-year-old Sarnian claims the belt, he could then challenge Jamie Conlan for his WBO European title, possibly in September.

Conlan is currently ranked No 11 by the WBO and beating him would propel Watson into world class.

'I'm ready to step up,' he said. 'I know what I'm capable of and this is going to be a big year for me.'
