Malta’s No 1 60Kg Olympic Boxer Haithem Laamouz, with a current record of 16 fights 11 wins and 5 losses has been invited once again to compete in the UK this Month.

Haithem Laamouz has recently defeated top amateur boxer Jack Fraiser, last November.

Laamouz has been training hard 3 times daily for these two upcoming duals in the UK.

This will be the first time that Haithem competes in the UK this year,

Haithem is boxing on the 22^nd against Danny May (61Kg) of Norwich Diamonds at the King Fisher ABC Boxing Show. And Steve Wyartt (6oKg) on the 28th for Fitzroy Lodge boxing club on the Lion ABC Show

Although Haithem is still based in Malta at the Lord’s Gym, he has for the past months been registered with the Amateur Boxing Association of England (ABAE). This happened after the local Maltese boxing federation lost it’s AIBA membership in late 2010 and Maltese boxers became illegible to participate in AIBA events at any level.

Laamouz, who is without a doubt Malta’s best boxing prospect has run out of local competition since early 2010 and his move to the Kingfisher Boxing Club in Norwich, England, is the most logical step if he is to further his boxing career. At the Kingfisher he is coached and sponsored by Glen Saffer, who is a friend and mentor to the young Laamouz and under whose tutelage the Maltese prospect has started to mature as a fighter and develop his ring craftsmanship. Laamouz is also sponsored by the Lord’s Gym Malta. In recent comments to Malta Boxing News, Laamouz thanked both the Maltese and English clubs for their strong support.
