yth loads up Hot on the heels of a KO victory in his first bout in nearly a year, WA boxing champion Adam "A-Bomb" Forsyth is preparing for his toughest professional fight yet, going up against hard-hitting NSW boxer Anthony "The Bull" McCracken in Brisbane this Friday night. The cruiserweight bout sees 28-year-old Forsyth currently ranked 9th in Australia match up with 7th ranked 26-year-old McCracken at Brisbanes Convention Centre. Forsyth, who is training under German-born Olympian Karl-Heinz Krüger, said he was eager to put himself to the test against McCracken who is coming off an October win against New Zealander Oscar Talemaira and has racked up 11 career wins and 3 losses. "Anthonys an experienced boxer and Ive got no doubt this fight will test me like no other professional fight has so far, but Im ready to take him on and definitely feel stronger in the body and head than I ever have before," Forsyth said. "Im keen for a bigger challenge in the ring and facing up against someone of Anthonys calibre is exactly what I need to prove myself in the pro ranks." Forsyths new manager Steve Della said the McCracken fight was a huge opportunity for the Olympian to stretch himself. "This will be Adams first eight round bout and will demand more of him than any of his other pro fights Anthonys a very good fighter and will push Adam to dig deep and use the skills hes been refining under Karl-Heinz," said Della. On October 30, New Zealand-born Forsyth made a triumphant return to boxing after a nearly 12-month break to recover from niggling injuries, securing a first round KO victory against New Zealander Shaun Salisbury in Sydney. Speaking after that win, Krüger said Adam was on-track to becoming a more experienced, focused fighter. "To prepare for his next fights well keep working on Adams mind-set and improving his concentration and the way he reads his opponent," he said. Forsyths professional record stands at five wins from five fights with five KOs. Following on from the Brisbane bout, Forsyth has another fight on Friday December 4 in Newcastle. A three-times New Zealand champion and five-times Australian champion, Forsyth represented Australia at the Olympic Games in Athens in 2004, making it into the quarterfinals after defeating Croatias Vedran Djipalo. Forsyth turned pro in June 2008. no need to thank me Leon.is Adam no longer with Kronk?

Explode he shall, I heard there is a certain Heavyweight contender ready to take on Forsyth, and all other cruisers!
You're certainly on the ball Anenigma. Nathan Briggs has been out of the limelight and gotten himself down to Cruiserweight already. Training the house down is the word I received. Apparently he'll be campaigning out of Cruiser from now on, which will certainly shake up the division. Plenty of great fights available.
