KELVIN Young has his sights set on making a winning return to the ring when he headlines at the Oasis tomorrow night.

Young was left rattled after his last fight in June against Francis Tchoffo, a fight in which he was put down in the sixth round before coming back to win on points.

After taking a month off to recover, the Penhill fighter is now ready to face Lithuanian Kiril Psonko.

The 27-year-old won’t be taking his opponent lightly after admitting that he has not had the best preparation due to illness.

“I’ve watched a couple of fights and he is just a tough Eastern European. I’ve boxed a couple of them now, so I know what to expect,” said Young.

“With this guy, he switches a little bit and can be quite awkward, so I have got to be on my game.

“I needed the break after that last fight. It was a gruelling fight and I got put down in the sixth. For two or three weeks after that fight I needed to have a break. I took some big punches in that fight.

“I couldn’t visualise properly, my eyesight wasn’t great, so I needed the rest for it to settle down.

“There are no tune-up fights in professional boxing. You are a professional because you have earned the merit. They don’t just give them out on the NHS. You’ve got to earn your licence.

“This lad (Psonko) has been beaten by some quality fighters. He is going to come here thinking he can beat me and if he can beat me, it is going to put him up there for some big fights.

“This camp hasn’t been my best camp, I will admit that. I have had a lot better camps but it is what it is.

“I have hit sharpness and hit some good form this week so I am ready to go.”

Young, who made his pro debut in December 2009, will be making his 20th outing when he headlines the ‘By Any Means Necessary’ show alongside fellow Swindon boxer Luke Watkins.

The IBO super-middleweight inter-continental champion, who is trained by Richard Farnan, is still unbeaten and is eyeing up another major title next year should he come through this one unscathed.

“I never dreamt of making it to double figures, let alone 20 (fights), so I am buzzing. I’ve had my ups and my downs, but I have had more ups than downs and may it keep going that way.

“As a senior, I racked up plenty of fights and you need that behind you before you turn over to the pro scene.

“In 2015, I would like to fight for big titles. I have already fought for big titles already, so I think I am ready for another big step.”
