Super-welterweight prospect Lloyd Ellett is feeling confident ahead of his fight against Slovakian Andrej Moravek on Friday night.

The 28-year-old boxer - knows as ‘Lightning Bolt’ - will tackle the international opponent over six three-minute rounds at the Metropole Hotel in Brighton.

The travelling opponent is used to hitting the road, competing in five different countries during his seven professional contests, only suffering defeats to unbeaten prospects.

The super-welterweight’s two victories came against debutants in France and Slovakia last year on points.

Ellett, who is preparing for the 20th contest of his four-year long professional career, said: “Training has been going very well and I’ve been sparring again after my cut healed up.

“In the last few weeks I’ve been training really hard and been to the gym since before Christmas so I’m sharp and feel ready for the fight.”

Ellett’s previous bout in December saw him defeat rival Faheem Khan for a second time in his career, outpointing the 33-year-old southpaw comfortably.

A student of the talent-packed iBox Gym in Bromley, also home to WBO European welterweight champion Bradley Skeete, Lewis Pettitt, and Southern Area titlists, Darryll Williams and Johnny Garton, the Ellett is put through his paces by top trainers Alan Smith and Eddie Lam.

A three-time Masters champion, Ellett recently relocated from Brighton to Brixton to be closer to the South London gym.

The former England amateur fighter is already eyeing his next fight.

“I want to be out real soon after this fight is out of the way, I won’t have any time out the gym so Saturday and Sunday off then straight back in,” he added.

“My manager Scott Welch and promoter Mickey Helliet both wanted me to fight to get another win under my belt to start challenging for major titles.

“I’d like to either fight again quickly or fight for a belt in the next few months, whether it’s Southern Area, English or another decent title.”

The Crusader Events show at the Metropole Hotel on February 12 also features Brighton boxer Nicky Jenman, unbeaten prospect Nick Webb and super-lightweight Marcus Eaton.
