The_budweiser Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 My first interview of 2016 with Tommy Langford. He talks about his upcoming fight with John Ryder and future fights against the likes of Billy Joe Saunders, Chris Eubank Jr and Nick Blackwell. I hope you comment and enjoy the interview P.S Thanks Gav. ------- Ringnews24.com: Last time we spoke you said you wanted to push up the rankings to put yourself in the position to be mixing it with the best fighters in the division. The WBO have you ranked fourth; have you set any new goals? It’s still my goal to keep pushing down that road really – I mean obviously being ranked fourth by the WBO puts you not too far off that world title shot, and given that Billy Joe[saunders]’s with Frank Warren as well, it’s an easier fight to make. That being said, obviously it would be nice to make it a bigger fight – push on and win a few more contests and that will get me even higher up and potentially a mandatory position. That’s ultimately what I am going for and then you know it’s unavoidable – the fight’s going to happen. It would also be nice in the next few fights to pick up a title – like this next fight I have a Commonwealth title shot, which is great and we can go on from there and move on to the British or European – that’s also something I’d like to do Page not found - - Boxing News - Ring News24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WelshDevilRob Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Re: Tommy Langford: Current and Future Fights Great interview. Has been through the usual British journeymen and stepped up abit lately. The Lewis Taylor fight is the right next step. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaconfan Posted February 25, 2016 Share Posted February 25, 2016 Re: Tommy Langford: Current and Future Fights Hey Bud great work. You can now add him to the list of boxers you have met on the thread I started. I have to admit, I do not really follow British boxing, and this is despite living very close to Amir Khan, Scott Quigg, Carl Thompson and many others. I also don't really follow Asian boxing, so I am missing out, by focusing on Americans, Mexicans and Puerto Ricans, but AJ has my full attention, and others like Benn have gotten me interested. I said all that, to explain why I have to say that I have never even heard of Tommy Langford, and upon seeing the surname,I was instantly thrown into a bygone era, as I thought of Sam Langford, so thanks for bringing me up to scratch, because just by reading about a prospect, it makes me want to do more research.

Do you ever watch Boxnation? He is often one of their co-commentators as he is a Frank Warren fighter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is often one of their co-commentators as he is a Frank Warren fighter. No pal, I no longer watch any events in their entirety, I just watch the bouts that interest me, so I download them separately. I used to sit up all night watching the whole bill of say a Tyson card, but would now just record it, if it ever got back to when they did that.

Sammy Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Re: Tommy Langford: Current and Future Fights Nice interview, there's one thing to fight for glory, another to fight for the money, the greatest is to fight because of your love and passion for it, but it's good when something inspires you to fight, all we care for is a good bout.

Killer Punch Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Re: Tommy Langford: Current and Future Fights He's so focused to become the #1 champ as soon as he can. I noticed a lot of boxers who appears a loudmouth in early stages actually become champs later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
