On Saturday night, Britain's light heavyweight class welcomed a future star when Troy Jones won the English title handily over Leon Willing. Now with an 11-0 record and 6 KOs, Jones has constantly honed his craft under the direction of his trainer, Lee Beard, and is starting to see the results.
“It was a great feeling, but it wasn’t anything that I didn’t expect to happen,” Jones reflected. “Me and Lee put a lot of good, hard work in. It was a great feeling but not a shock to the system. I knew I was coming back with it.” “He’s better than his record says,” Jones acknowledged. “He’s tricky to land clean on and pin down, to be honest, but I think I did it well. I got comfortable. I got my rhythm and got my range.”
“I think it suited me right away, to be honest,” Jones said of Beard’s training style. “He opened my mind to the art of fighting. I love Lee’s style. I think he’s a fantastic coach and I can’t thank him enough for what he’s done for me.”
