Grant Dennis believes he is already good enough to snatch the English middleweight title.

Dennis topped the bill at the Medway Park boxing show last Saturday and eased to a 40-35 points victory over Iain Jackson.

It was Dennis’s fourth professional win from four fights and he’s already eyeing up Lewis Taylor’s English belt.

He said: “I’ve got to take my time but now feel I can already beat Taylor. I’ve seen him in action and know what he is about.

“He’s had 18 professional fights and I’ve only had four but I would beat him now. He’s got the belt and I want it.

“I would love to go into his back garden and take the belt off him. I would take that fight if it was offered. I would be too quick and strong for him.

“My manager might not think it’s a good idea and I’ll go with what he and my trainer thinks but I know they have confidence in my ability.”
