The Scouser defends his English title against Barnsley's tough Josh Wale (15-6) at the Robin Park Centre in Wigan on December 14.

Dickens built up a steady lead on the judges' cards against Kid Galahad, real name Barry Awad, before running out of steam and being stopped in the tenth round.

"I don't want to make any excuses because Barry was very good on the night and I take my hat off to him, but I know what went wrong," Dickens said.

"When I watched the fight back I thought 'why am I moving so much?' I think I was too eager to please the crowd. I wanted the British public to see me as their fighter, a people's fighter.

"I've learned lots from that fight and I know to be a lot more sensible this time. If I didn't take positives from it, there'd be no point in me boxing."

Despite September's setback, Jazza believes a win over Wale will put him back on track for another shot at British title in 2014.

"That title is still part of my short-term goals, so once this fight is out of the way, I hope I'll get fight for it again.

"I'm a very busy fighter so it won't take me long to get back in the frame and if Kid Galahad has still got the belt, I'll fight him again."
