KEVIN LUESHING says he has a few more years
left in boxing, despite his WBO light-middleweight
title defeat by Namibian puncher Harry
Simon in May.
But next up for Kevin, who also challenged
Felix Trinidad for the IBF welterweight crown in
January 1997, knocking the Puerto Rican down
in the second before losing in the next, could be
old foe Geoff McCreesh, who has been waiting
for a crack at the WBO 10st 7lbs crown.
McCreesh deposed Lueshing as British welterweight
champion at Wembley in the summer of
1997, but a rematch, says Kevin, is just what he
needs to keep his career alive.
"I need fights which will stimulate me," he
said. "McCreesh does just that, so does a fight
with Ensley Bingham or Wayne Alexander.
"I'm 31 and if I had retired the temptation to
come back in a few years would always be
there. But I need to get it out of my system. At
domestic level a match between myself and
Geoff would be great."

MARVIN HAGLER, former undisputed middleweight
king, will visit Wales for the first time
in October.
Hagler makes two appearances on consecutive
nights, in a marquee at Coopersfield behind
Cardiff Castle on October 18 and at Brangwyn
Hall, Swansea on October 19. Guest speaker on
both occasions is former WBC light-heavyweight
champion John Conteh. Comedian is Charlie Ale,
MC Steve Holdsworth.

ANDREW GOLOTA, poised to break back into the
heavyweight title picture if he can defeat
Michael Grant on November 20, is being sued
by a pay-television company which claims his
first-round defeat by Lennox Lewis in Atlantic
City in October 1997 was not worth what they
paid for it.
Joe Hand Promotions claim they were
defrauded because Golota, the promoters and
state officials allowed the match to take place
knowing the Polish boxer had taken a painkilling
injection for his injured knee.
