Basi Razaq is looking to bounce back from his first career defeat as he faces Danny Little on March 26, at Gateshead Leisure Centre.

In his last performance, the 24-year-old was pushed to the limit throughout a four-round contest and was forced to deal with the adverse effects of a cut caused by a head clash. He struggled from that point onwards and was floored twice in the final round before the referee deemed him in no position to continue.

Razaq insists that loss was just a minor slip-up, and he will be back to his best on Fighting Chance's inaugural show.

“I don’t look at it as a loss. The reason I lost that fight was because of the head clash. I lost so much blood that I felt faint and couldn’t see anything. But I can’t wait to get back in the ring and do what I do best. I’ve been training hard, and with each session I feel more experienced."

The Newcastle boxer started his professional career with a bang by scoring three knockouts in his first three fights. However after his recent loss, Razaq is wary of overlooking any opponent.

“Hopefully there are big things ahead for me, but I can’t overlook Danny Little. I’m never out of the gym and I’m just trying to make a name for myself.”
