The 18-year-old welterweight boxes in front of the BoxNation cameras in just his third professional contest at the Civic on Friday October 24,

writes Craig Birch.

After points landslide wins over Matthew Ashmole and Harjinder Gill, both in the Holte Suite at Aston Villa Football Club, Breeze is still looking for his first knockout.

But the teen terror is training to become a beast on fight night, with new sponsorship from Aldridge Air Conditioning allowing him to focus full-time on the sport.

He's been working with top nutritionist Kerry Kayes to drop the pounds steadily but quickly, before packing on muscle to make him huge at the weight.

With an international opponent likely to be flown in, Breeze is looking to make the task of facing him as daunting as possible before a punch is even thrown.

He said: "I have never struggled with the weight, but I want to get as far below the weight limit as I can and then back up. I am training twice a day, so there's more time to build muscle mass.

"I actually eat more on this diet, it's little and often and gives me the energy I need to work harder than I ever have. I can feel my strength coming through.

"I have always been a big lad for my age, but there could be a different beast at work now. I want to bully my opponents in there.

"I felt I performed twice as well in my last fight than the first one, so I should be 10 times better this time. I want my counter punching to count.

"I have been throwing one and twos, trying to work the head and body nice, but there will be three and fours coming next time. I won't be holding anything back."

'The Hurricane' attracted crowds of 200 plus for both of his first two contests and, with his hat-trick coming even closer to home, is expecting big support again at the Civic.

He said: "It's going to be quality to come home. I like Villa and it's always a good show, but I know just how great the Civic is having been there as a fan.

"My fans have been fantastic and I can't thank them enough. We always take a couple of coaches from Bloxwich and we have called it the crazy bus!"
