GEOFF McCREESH, former British welterweight
champion, is back in the gym and looking as good
as ever, according to manager and trainer Jim Evans.
The pair split before McCreesh's failed attempt to
win the IBO light-middleweight title from Adrian
Stone last year, but Evans said McCreesh came back
to him just after Christmas.
"I turned him away initially," said Jim. "But he
apologised, kept on and on and we had a good old
chat. He's been as good as gold since."
Bracknell-based McCreesh, married with three
kids, is under 11st and Evans said he will be ready to
box again - as a welter - within a few weeks.

JOHN DAVIES, manager and trainer of GORDON MINORS, informs me as of a
week ago no one had contacted him in relation to his man boxing AUDLEY
HARRISON at Wembley Arena on May 19.
Minors was on the media's short-list, and Davies said: "Gordon's more than willing to take the
fight. He had a raw deal last time out against Jacklord Jacobs [lost on a cut which which Davies
said wasn't a bad injury]."
Olympic super-heavyweight champ Audley, guest on BBC1 's On Side programme with John
Inverdale on Monday, will fight a six-rounder. He told Inverdale he doesn't want to pad out his
record with easy wins and still has a five-year plan to become heavyweight champion of the world.
"I know I'm going to win the world title. It's a question of whether I can hang on to it," he said
with typical confidence.

LLOYD HONEYGHAN'S next promotion, at Caesars in Streatham on April 22, will
be topped by a British Masters lightweight title rematch between Midlander
Gary Flear against Brian Gentry.
Southpaw Flear won the vacant title when he stopped Gentry on a cut in the sixth
on a tense night at the Novotel in Hammersmith last year. It had been anyone's fight
up to that point.
Also on the card are novices Colin Kenna and Gypsy Joe Brame, who both
scored debut wins on Honeyghan's last show in February.
Kenna is a particularly interesting character - the Southampton-based Dublin
heavyweight had his toughest fight outside of the ring when overcoming cancer of the
stomach. He started his paid career by stopping Alvin "Slick" Miller.
