‘The Flash’ has Southern Area belt in sights
Enfield light-welterweight Chris Evangelou enjoyed an
impressive 2011, scoring four victories in the calendar year and improving his
record to 9-0 in the process.
The 26 year-old, who’s older brother Andreas is also an
undefeated pro fighter, has now set his sights on a shot at Darren Hamilton’s
Southern Area belt as he looks to crack the British Top 10 in 2012.
“I am looking at getting my name into the top 10 as soon as
possible,” Evangelou told World Boxing News.
“I’ve got my eye on the Southern Area and English titles in
the next few months so the likes of Darren Hamilton, who holds the Southern
belt, would make for a good fight and boost my rankings.
“This is without doubt the biggest year for me yet and I
will be making headlines later in the year.”
Evangelou’s last outing was November when he out-pointed
Joel Ryan over four rounds and the Londoner will now look to take the next step
to six rounds as he hopes to end up at the ten-round distance in the next nine
months.
‘The Flash’ would then be in the mix to challenge for that vacant title and could get a his first professional title shot sooner, rather
than later depending on the outcome of Wright’s future.
