Jamie Arthur confident of Martin Lindsay upset

Arthur has won all seven of his bouts since his 2008 comeback

Jamie Arthur feels he can prove the bookies wrong when he finally gets his crack at Martin Lindsay's British featherweight title on 19 March.

"Beating Lindsay is all I'm thinking about," he told the South Wales Argus.

"It won't be easy because he's undefeated and very talented but I'm so focused it's unbelievable."

Cwmbran's former amateur star Arthur, 30, had hoped that the fight would be staged in Newport on 5 February but it is now at Leigh Indoor Sports Centre.

Undefeated Belfast man Lindsay, 27, has won all 15 of his fights, six by knock-out, claiming the title by stopping Paul Appleby at the Ulster Hall in April.

606: DEBATE

Can Arthur claim the British crown?

Arthur retired in 2005 after successive stoppage defeats but he has enjoyed a perfect run of seven victories since returning in 2008.

He secured his number one contender spot with a thrilling points victory over previously unbeaten Akaash Bhatia at the York Hall in June, a bout that was nominated as the British fight of the year.

Arthur, now promoted by Frank Maloney, first hit the headlines at the Commonwealth Games in Manchester in 2002.

Martin Lindsay is unbeaten in 14 fights

Campaigning at lightweight, he became the first Welshman to win Commonwealth Games gold since Howard Winstone in 1958.

Arthur struggled to adapt his style to the professional game, but the 10-round victory over 26-year-old Londoner Bhatia is one of his most impressive.

'Kash the Bash', the first professional British Sikh boxer, had won all 14 of his previous bouts since turning professional in 2006.
