Having dispatched of the likes of Andrew Lowe, Ryan Toms and Max Maxwell since beating Nick Quigley to lift the vacant title back in January 2012, Ochieng firmly believes that it is time to move on, to either challenge for the British or Commonwealth belts.
“Yeah, the fight is going to be on the March 9 and it’s going to be a good fight, because it’s against Terry Carruthers,” said the 25-year-old from Stoke Newington, east London, who has a record of 12 wins (four K.Os) and one loss to his name.
“He’s a tough, ugly fighter so I’m gonna come out and look pretty.
“Preparation has been going well and we’re looking for another win and then on to bigger things, which will be the British or the Commonwealth, that’s what we are looking for at the minute.
“I promise before this year ends you’ll be looking at the British or Commonwealth champion, without doubt.”
The Kenyan-born fighter added: “I want to give a big shout out to all my fans and sponsors. I want the ‘Eagle’ crowd to come out in force, because
the fight’s going to be a great fight.”
