Light middleweight boxer Tony Milch says he’s aiming to show he’s a championship level fighter when he returns to the ring next weekend at York Hall.
Having secured the International Challenge belt in his last fight, the 35-year-old, takes on Norwich-born Duane Green in what will be his 12th professional bout – as he looks to maintain his 100 percent winning run.
He said: “I’m looking to show I am a championship level fighter, and will use the fight to demonstrate the skills I’ve been working on.”
Scheduled for six rounds, he said: “It’s a non-title fight, but I will it treat it like one. Winning my first title has added to my confidence and I’ve been ticking over in the gym since last boxing in the summer. I’ve been raising the training as it gets closer to fight night, am sparring with heavier fighters and increasing my strength and conditioning work.”
Looking forward to ‘a good fight’, he adds: “By putting on a good show, I hope 2017 will then bring bigger and exciting opportunities.”
Tickets for the 5 November fight can be bought via milch@live.co.uk or @TonyMilch on twitter.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
