GARVEY Kelly says that he is not fazed by the prospect of fighting on foreign shores this weekend.

The Swindon welterweight heads out to Denmark tomorrow in preparation for his second fight in the paid ranks on the Cecilia Braekhus women’s world welterweight title bill on Saturday night.

And the Paddy Fitzpatrick-trained boxer says that all he cares about is being in the squared circle and not where it is.

“It doesn’t matter about foreign ground or jumping on a plane, at the end of the day that ring is home ground for me.

“It doesn’t matter where it is for me, it could be on another planet, if we are in a ring with ropes and a ref then I’m at home.”

Kelly, who made his professional debut earlier this month at the Oasis Leisure Centre with a classy six-round shut-out of durable journeyman Matt Seawright, believes that there will be less pressure on him in Copenhagen than there was when debuting in his hometown.

Despite saying that the pressure will be less, the 26-year-old is determined to put on another fine performance in the Danish capital.

“There was a lot of pressure on my first in front of my family and friends in my hometown,” he said.

“I was pleased that I performed well and getting out of the fight everyone said that they enjoyed it.

“You still have to go there and perform, but if I can go over there and do the same thing in front of people I don’t know, I’ll be super happy.

“Personally I feel like there is less pressure (this time), I felt like I had the weight of the world going into the first one.

“It was my first fight and imagine if it didn’t go the way that I planned.

“It could have all ended on that night – it could have been the end for me.

“That is not to say that I was looking at that, but you have to be realistic, if I had gone and lost to a dude that had 99 losses where do I go from there.”
