JAMIE COX STARTS COMEBACK THIS SATURDAY NIGHT
Swindon middleweight prospect Jamie Cox makes his long awaited return to the ring this Saturday night (14th February) at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall and aims to send out a warning to his domestic rivals that he’s back.
The undefeated southpaw takes on Huddersfield’s Alistair Warren in a ten-rounder as chief support to the potential thriller between Stephen Ormond and Terry Flanagan’s WBO European Lightweight clash and Eliminator for the WBO World title, live and exclusive on BoxNation.

Cox, 28, has only fought once in the last three and half years – beating Matiouze Royer over six rounds in June last year – due to a serious hand injury and issues outside of the ring that have kept him inactive.

But Cox, who was a stellar amateur claiming Gold at the 2006 Commonwealth Games, and won a Commonwealth title at light-middleweight in the pro ranks, is determined to get back to the top.

With the domestic 160lb division looking very competitive with stars including Billy Joe Saunders, Andy Lee, Martin Murray and Chris Eubank Jnr., Cox says there’s no reason why he can’t be in the mix.

“First of all I’m delighted that Frank Warren has got me on the Wolverhampton show and I’m going to show that I mean business,” Said Cox.

“I just want to fight again and fulfil the potential that I showed when I started out in the sport.  I’ve had an unfortunate few years, but they’re behind me know and I’m looking to the future and I’m determined to eventually become a world champion,”

“I’ve got a bit of catching up to do, but I’m still young enough and I’ve matured mentally so I believe that I can still achieve that goals that I’ve set myself and more.  It’s like a brand new start for me in my career and it begins this Saturday night at the Wolverhampton Civic Hall,”

“Fortunately I’m in a division with a lot of quality names and there are some very exciting potential fights that can be made.  Saunders, Lee, Murray and Eubank Jnr. are all at world level and I reckon after a few more fights I can be up there with them, I’m that confident.  Nick Blackwell, John Ryder, and Adam Etches are a  there and thereabouts and I know I could beat them now if I had the chance,”

“I’m looking forward to getting things moving again and it’s down to me to put on a top performance against Warren and get the win, before sitting down with my team and planning the next move.”
