I'm ready for title shot, says Milch

Tony Milch believes he is ready for an area title shot after registering his sixth professional victory.

Milch was leading Zoltan Turai of Hungary on points before a fourth-round clash of heads led to the referee halting the fight at the Camden Centre in Kings Cross.

Up against a stocky opponent who had won four of his six fights by KO, Milch took the fight to Turai, attacking him from the first bell.

"He was a dangerous opponent," said Milch. "My plan was to land my shots and keep moving. He came for a knockout but I went for him and put pressure on him at every opportunity.

"I'm delighted my hands held up well and overall is was a really sharp performance."

Milch, who weighed in dead on 11 stones, now plans to have a week off before stepping up his strength and conditioning training until the new year. “Then I’ll have a seven-week intensive training camp before my next bout in February, which is likely to be a six-rounder," he said.

"My target is to have an area title shot and a couple of fights on television next year."
