 Scott Gammer says it is an honour to hold the British heavyweight title |
Scott Gammer says he is now ready to make his presence felt on the heavyweight scene after a successful first defence of his British title. The Pembroke man, 29, won an unanimous points decision over challenger Micky Steeds in Port Talbot on Friday and now has his sights on bigger opponents.
"The likes of Audley Harrison, Matt Skelton, Danny Williams - they're a lot bigger names than I am," Gammer said.
"I want to fight one of them so I can get my name up there with them."
Former champion Williams was meant to have been the first defence for the undefeated Gammer.
But the Isle of Dogs' Steeds, 23, was a replacement for Williams, a Muslim, who withdrew so he could observe Ramadan.
"Hopefully we can start working on a date now with Danny Williams, but I want to get it before Christmas if we can," Gammer added.
Gammer was always in control against the Steeds and easily won the judges' decision 120-108, 118-110, 118-110.
"I felt in control from the first round onwards - there were a few close rounds in there but I still felt I was winning every one," Gammer said.
"I don't think my boxing has come on all that much - I've always known I've got good ability - but it's more down to the fact that you've got the title and don't want to give it up.
"It means everything to me, it's a big thing in my life that I'm the British heavyweight champion... all the names that have been on that belt and I'm up there with them."
