\"\"<\/a>Frankie Gavin says he\u2019ll retire British welterweight champion Junior Witter once and for all when they clash this Thursday night at the York Hall, Bethnal Green. The unbeaten Birmingham ace has only had 13 fights but he\u2019s confident he\u2019ll finish off the 38-year-old wily veteran even though Witter, the former WBC light welterweight champion, has never been stopped in 48 fights.<\/p>\n

\u201cWitter\u2019s had a good career, he\u2019s won the world title, plus Commonwealth, European and British titles, but I believe that this will finally be the end of the road for him when I take that Lonsdale belt from him. Full credit to him for turning back the clock to beat Colin Lynes and win the title, but I could have beaten Lynes. I\u2019m going to give Witter the hardest night he\u2019s ever had, I know that at his age and the amount of fight he\u2019s had he hasn\u2019t got the legs to be able to keep up with the pace and force I\u2019m going to be setting and I\u2019ll be looking to take him out from mid to late in the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHis trainer Dominic Ingle says that Witter has the body of 27-year-old, outside he may have, but inside he\u2019ll be more like a 57-year-old. I\u2019m too young and fresh for him and it\u2019s now my time to step up to the mantle and start a new era. Saying that, I\u2019ve not taken Witter lightly. I\u2019m prepared for the best Witter to turn up.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gavin is still Britain\u2019s only ever world amateur champion and despite being hailed as one of the country\u2019s best natural talents, he says there are still doubters but they will be silenced with the performance he intends to put on.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is my moment to step up and prove that I\u2019m the real deal,\u201d added Gavin. \u201cI\u2019ve had a difficult year in my personal life, but that\u2019s all sorted now and thanks to my trainer Tom Chaney I\u2019m back to my best and I believe that I can fulfill my full potential and beyond with him. I\u2019m not looking at the past, I\u2019m looking to the future and I\u2019m really excited but what is ahead and what my promoter Frank Warren has got lined up, but I\u2019ve got to beat Witter on Thursday night to make happen and I\u2019ll do it in style.\u201d<\/p>\n
