NANTWICH heavyweight Nathan Gorman is aiming to polish off his second opponent in in as many weeks when he faces against Poland’s Kamil Sokolowski in Walsall on Saturday.

The Ricky Hatton-trained teenager wasted no time in seeing off Hrvoje Kisicek a week last Saturday, flooring him three times in the opening round

Now he is looking for a similarly explosive performance in the West Midlands.

Gorman said: “I got him out of there in the first round. The first knockdown the referee didn’t count it, but the punches after that landed and he felt them all. It was game over then

“Kisicek gave Hughie Fury a good fight and not many people get through the first round with Anthony Joshua so I think knocking out so quickly will get people talking about me.

“My power has really come on since I’ve been with Ricky. He works on getting everything into my shots and people saw that last weekend.”

Saturday’s fight, which co-headlines Hatton Promotions’ and Black Country Boxing’s Mayhem event at Walsall Football Club, will see Gorman step up to six rounds in what is only his fourth paid outing.

“Six-rounders are better for me,” he said. “As an amateur I was used to doing three rounds so four-rounders weren’t really any different, but six will be good.

“Sokolowski will be a tough opponent because he’s boxed pretty much all the upcoming guys in the British top 15 and only Dillian Whyte has stopped him. He’s been in with Kash Ali, Sam Sexton and Gary Cornish and none of them could put him away.

“He’s solid and he comes for a fight so I think it’ll really say something about my potential if I can get him out of there.”
