Manxman Mathew Rennie ended 2022 on a high, as he scored a decisive points victory over Russian Rustem Fatkhullin.
Rennie scored a 40-36 points win over his 30-year-old opponent on Saturday night.
Speaking after the fight, ‘Magic’ Rennie said his aim for 2023 is more fights, more wins and titles.
In an interview with VIPBoxingPromotions, he said: ‘Tonight for me was just about getting back winning, I’ve had a bit of a stressful year really, I’ve been a bit unfortunate, but I’ve kept working in the gym, I’ve been working in the gym doing camp after camp, it’s just unfortunate that I’ve not had a fight at the end of them, through no fault of my own.
‘But I’ve kept with it, kept chipping away and I thought it was a good performance tonight.’
Looking forward, he said: ‘I’ve had a few more sponsors come onboard and they’re going to help me train full-time now so 2023 I’m able to give the 12 months my all, so I think that will take me to another level too.’
