Mutley plans to bite in Nottingham

Young Mutley believes all roads lead to Lenny Daws and the British title as West Bromwich's favourite boxing son prepares for action in Nottingham next month.

The 33-year-old will fight for the first time since getting to the semi-finals of 'Prizefighter' in December at the Harvey Hadden Leisure Centre on February 5, again at light welterweight and bidding for a sustained push in the division.

Mutley has signed a three-fight deal with Frank Maloney which will culminate in a title fight with British champion Daws, if 'Lightening' is still in possession of the belt, before the end of the year.

And the Black Country puncher knows what it takes to go all the way, as a former Lonsdale champion at welter.

But, for now, the veteran must go across the Midlands and win come fight night to stay in the hunt.

He said: "As soon as I have tuned up, I am coming after Lenny Daws and that British title. I would love to take him on, he's a boxer with a good engine but he isn't a puncher, where I can bring that to the table.

"There is no one in this division that can punch like me, when I get down properly I will be a lot stronger and faster. I feel a lot fitter because of the less weight, so that has got to be good.

"This fight is the start of something big for me."
