Michael “The Great” Katsidis is back in
Australia with a new team, a new trainer and in full training to take on the world’s
elite lightweight fighters. He wants a 3rd World Title after
previously winning 2 WBO Interim World Lightweight titles.
Michael has commenced training at KO Boxing
Gym at Miami on the Gold Coast under the tutelage of former Australian
Lightweight champion Danny McGrail.
Katsidis is blessed with natural power and
killer instinct that makes for epic fights, however on occasion it’s also meant
he has stood with opponents and engaged in slug fests. McGrail has no intention
of altering Katsidis natural approach however he understands that Katsidis must
mix this up with increased head and feet movement when he tackles the World’s
elite Lightweights.
Having travelled the world and living in
the USA for most of his career, Katsidis is taking a fresh approach by using a
stable Australian base and a trusted team to launch an assault on a 3rd World Title.
Katsidis has a fearsome reputation as a KO
specialist with a record of 28-6 with 23 KO’s. His epic battle with Juan Manuel
Marquez in 2010 won HBO Fight of the Year.
