Danny Hunt is preparing himself for a shot at the British lightweight title within the next 18 months.
The Leigh boxer -- dubbed The Essex Boy -- aims to go for a Southern Area champion challenge early next year before having a crack at the national title.
"My manager, Frank Maloney, tells me that in two to three fights that I might be fighting for the Southern Area title," said 21-year-old Danny.
"Southern Area winners go on to fight for the British title and that could happen within the next 12 to 18 months."
Danny is due to sit down with Maloney next month to discuss his future progress in the sport and is scheduled to return to the ring for his 13th pro bout in December.
