\"\"<\/a>Blackpool\u2019s Adam Little (17-2, 5 KOs) takes on Darren Surtees (7-0, 5 KOs) on September 16th at the Echo Arena, Liverpool on the undercard of the World Boxing Super Series super middleweight quarter-final clash between Liverpool\u2019s Callum Smith and Sweden\u2019s Erik Skoglund.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the opportunity I have been waiting for,\u201d said Little. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to be part of the biggest shows. The World Boxing Super Series is absolutely fantastic for the sport of boxing; so it\u2019s just great to be involved with it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Little, the former English and Central Area Welterweight Champion, has built an impressive resume which has seen him in multiple crowd-pleasing domestic dust-ups. But now, he revealed his delighted to finally receive an opportunity to box on the biggest stage.<\/p>\n

Despite being aware of his opponent\u2019s impressive punching power, Little believes he will have too much experience and skill for Surtees. However, the 26-year old also expressed his admiration for Surtees for his willingness to accept such a challenging fight at this stage of his career.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurtees is a very big puncher, as his record suggests. But I\u2019m far more experienced than him and I\u2019ve been up against a much higher level of opposition than he has. I think this fight is going to be one fight too soon for him, but he can come back and learn from it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI just want so say fair play to him for taking the fight. Not many boxers of his age and experience would be willing to step up in class like he is here.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not stupid\u2026 I know he\u2019ll be coming in there trying to knock me out; and I\u2019ll be prepared for that. This fight is guaranteed to be an absolute war, and the fans are in for a real treat!\u201d<\/p>\n

Surtees, the 22-year old from County Durham, has been making a big impression on the North East boxing scene with his recent run of knock-out victories.<\/p>\n

He predicts the same result in the domestic Super Lightweight contest over eight rounds in Liverpool.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got this reputation as a big puncher, but if I want to, I have the ability to outbox Little and beat him on points as well. I\u2019m just going to demolish him in every single round. If the referee doesn\u2019t stop the fight, I believe his corner will!\u201d<\/p>\n
