Elcock rejects claims he is looking past McDermott

Press release

Wayne Elcock says there is no way he is taking challenger Darren McDermott lightly ahead of their British Middleweight Title showdown at the Civic Hall, Wolverhampton tomorrow evening.

‘The Battle of the Midlands’ is Elcock’s first title defence since beating Howard Eastman on points last year and Sky Sports will televise the action live on the Hennessy Sports show in association with GoldenPalace.net and 1st Team Promotions. Birmingham banger Elcock is aiming to get back to world title contention after losing to IBF champion Arthur Abraham in December.

GoldenBoy fight to be re-scheduled for Murray-Meager bill
