Fannan: Ward has the tools to beat Booth

[The_budweiser]

Martin Ward’s trainer, Neil Fannan, says that his charge faces his toughest career test when he clashes with Jason ‘2 Smooth’ Booth for the English bantamweight title on September 30 at the Hartlepool Borough Hall, but insists that his man has the skills to prevail.

 

Booth, the former British super-bantamweight champion and one-time world title challenger, lost last time out in July at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light in a WBA European title fight to Ireland’s Willie Casey, but Fannan says that County Durham’s Ward can’t read too much into that defeat.

 

“It’s a tough fight for Martin because I thought he [booth] won his last fight against Willie Casey; he won the early rounds and he kept it up and I was surprised he stayed so fresh.

 

“So if anyone says that he’s coming off a couple of defeats, well, to me, Jason knows and lots of people know that he won [against Casey] but didn’t get the decision, and I think that’s buoyed him to take this fight.
