By Scott Gilfoid: Gavin Rees’ promoter Eddie Hearn is confident that Rees will be getting another world title shot by the end of 2013 against one of the lightweight champions. Hearn says Rees will be back in the United States fighting because they were so impressed with his performance in getting stopped in the 5th round last Saturday night by WBC lightweight champion Adrien Broner on HBO television.
Hearn said to Sky Sports “Gavin’s performance won him many admirers in America. He is a true warrior and we have already been approached about further fights in the U.S in early summer…the plan is to pick up another world title shot before the end of 2013.”
