I'll be back vows Broadhurst
Birmingham's Don Broadhurst has vowed to bounce back from his British title disappointment and come back after Lee Haskins with fire in his belly next year.
'The Don' has been left licking his wounds this week, after falling to Haskins in the battle of Britain's best little men by a unanimous points decision in Newport eight days ago.
It came at an added price – Broadhurst lost his Commonwealth super flyweight crown and an 11 fight undefeated pro run in the bargain.
Now all the 25-year-old can do is look to the future, the road back to Haskins and his bid to be proved the best domestic boxer in his division.
To do so a big gun needs to be taken out and fast early next year, with a possible challenge set to be made to Sheffield's English champion Ross 'The Boss' Burkinshaw.
But, for now, his first defeat still hits hard.
Broadhurst said: "I want a big fight to get me back in the game next year, and maybe a shot at Ross' title is the answer.
"If I can win that, it would take me a step closer to Lee Haskins again, because he never would have beaten me if I had been on my game.
"I know I have all the tools and capabilities to take him, he never would have stopped me and he never would have hurt me.
"It's a bitter pill to swallow, I lost my belt and missed out on the British title because I didn't turn up on the night.
"But I still have the same expectations that I had before the fight, I believe that I will win a world title.
" I need to be more active though - I hadn't boxed for eight months before this fight."
