Tokyo 2021 lightweight Olympic bronze medalist Harry Garside (2-0, 1 KO) returns to the ring on Wednesday at the Newcastle Entertainment Centre, Newcastle, when he defends his Australian 135 pound championship against Layton McFerran (5-1, 2 KOs) televised on Foxtel Main Event and Kayo Sports Pay Per View.
Rugby League football legend and Australian heavyweight contender Paul Gallen (12-1-1, 7 KOs) will also be in action against dangerous opponent Kris Terzievski (10-1-1, 8 KOs) with the vacant Australian heavyweight title up for grabs.
“I’m pretty much exactly where I planned to be [after the Olympics],” Garside told Wide World of Sports. “I definitely want to be world-ranked in the next 18 months. So that’s the plan now – stay injury-free, keep winning, keep looking good and hopefully fight for world titles soon.”
Ambition’s a good thing but he proberly needs aiming for the Commonwealth belt before dreaming of World title’s.
