Short break for Dundee boxers

DUNDEE ABC shut down for the season last night — however they are up and running again on August 14 for the new season.

Supremo Greg Menzies has a batch of keen young boxers and, with his more experienced l ads also doing well, he is “looking forward to the coming season.”

Greg added: “We have a number of youngsters in the club and it’s just a matter of getting them experience.”

The club travel the length and breadth of Scotland to take part in shows and Greg said that will likely continue in the new season when they are again sponsored by AA Removals.

DAVID Haye intends to get back into the ring in December as he targets a return from the Achilles injury suffered in his heavyweight defeat to Tony Bellew.

Haye needed surgery in the wake of the bruising contest against Bellew in April, which saw the Achilles problem hamper the former two-weight world champ from the sixth round at the O2 Arena, being knocked down onto the ropes during the 11th before the towel came in from his corner.

After parting company with trainer Shane McGuigan, 36-year-old Haye has recently teamed up with Ismael Salas.

Haye is confident things will fall into place for a return to action later in the year against an unconfined opponent.

“I will be back in the ring in December, who that will be against, I don’t know,” Haye told a press conference in London at which the signing of British Olympic boxer Joe Joyce and Qais Ashfaq as well as Michael Page to his promotion stable was announced.
