Gorman eyes Adeleye fight down the road

British havyweight Nathan Gorman would relish a showdown with David Adeleye, but first he makes his return live and free-to-air on Channel 5 tomorrow night. The 27 year-old Gorman makes his comeback after over a year out of the ring, on the Wasserman Boxing show at the Toughsheet Community Stadium, in Bolton, England live and free-to-air from 10pm. Gorman takes on the confident Ukrainian Bohdan Myronets, who is fresh from an upset victory over Kash Ali in the summer. Gorman returns to the ring for the first time since his three-round shoot-out loss for the British heavyweight title against Fabio Wardley last year, and says a statement victory on Friday night should put him back in title contention.
 
The cousin of Tyson Fury, says a clash with London's David Adeleye, who was stopped by Wardely in Saudi Arabia recently, is a perfect fight to make next. "I'm not the type of person to call other fighters out but Adeleye was calling me out and never left me alone." Gorman told Wasserman Boxing. "We've both lost fights for the British title to the same opponent, so why can't we fight each other? How about a British title eliminator or a Commonwealth title fight?  Let's get it on in February.  I think I beat him convincingly.  For three or four rounds he would be game but then I would take over.  He's a good fighter, but very, very beatable."
 
He added: "Myronets is a big test.  He might be looking at me and thinking that, mentally, I'm not right and he's coming off that win over Kash Ali, which he would convincingly in my opinion.  He is no stranger to coming over here and causing an upset.  But he needs to know that I'm not Kash Ali."
 
Roman Fury has been forced to withdraw from Friday's show through illness.
