Jamie Cox is ready to rip through the super-middleweight division after signing with Matchroom Boxing.
The unbeaten Swindon banger (21-0, 12KOs) is mandatory challenger for new British champion Rocky Fielding who beat John Ryder for the vacant belt in Liverpool on Satuday night.
“I’ll be boxing in the super-middleweight division, I feel strong, fit and explosive at that weight – I’m ready to rip my way through the 168lbers out there," said former WBO European champion Cox.
"I want to fight a big profile name asap, so the public can see what I’m all about. We will then push towards that world title shot in the next year to 18 months.
"I’ve been made mandatory to fight Rocky Fielding. I will fight anyone and of course it would be an honour to win that belt. I just can’t wait to get going and get back in the ring doing what I do best."
Promoter Eddie Heard added: "Jamie is one of the hardest hitting 168-pounders in world boxing and we are looking at some major names moving forward."
