\"\"<\/a>Former two-time WBO interim lightweight champion Michael Katsidis says he\u2019ll prove he can still be a force in the lightweight division when he takes on Tommy Coyle for the IBF International title at the Ice Arena in Hull on October 25. The Australian secured a pair of wins earlier in the year in his hometown of Queensland, a third round stoppage in March before a shutout twelve round win over old World title foe Graham Earl in July. The 34-year-old has left no stone unturned in his preparations for Coyle, landing in the UK in September and teaming up with former British champion Maurice Core in Manchester. \u2018The Great\u2019 has faced questions over how much he has left in the tank but he insists he\u2019ll answer the critics in style.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to prove that I still have plenty left to offer \u2013 and there will be no questioning my future after Hull,\u201d said Katsidis. \u201cI\u2019ve been over here for a while, settling in, getting comfortable in his backyard and ready to perform at my best on the night. I don\u2019t know much about Tommy, but I know that he is in for a tough night on the 25th. I\u2019m really enjoying the training and I love being in England. The lightweight division over here is really flying, there\u2019s some great fights here for me, and a big win over Tommy will put me right back on the map.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s an honour to be working with Maurice in Manchester, he\u2019s worked with some great champions like Prince Naseem Hamed, and we\u2019ve really clicked so everything is in great order. I love boxing and this is what I do, this isn\u2019t a job for me, this is love.\u201d<\/p>\n
