"It has been a long, hard road to these titles and I am not going to let Callum take them away from me."
"The titles are coming back to Fulham."
The 26-year-old trains at the State Of Mind Fitness gym in Fulham Reach with head coach Barry O'Connell who previously worked with H&F boxing legend George Groves.
