He said, “Progression is going perfectly so far. Obviously Mick and Dave train me and also manager me so they know what I can do.

“It’s just about taking my time at the moment as I’m still only 19 so yeah very happy with where I’m at 4-0 and I’ll continue to listen to my coaches.”

Many would argue that Professional Boxing is more about the science than the violence. Chorley based Jeffers elaborated on what improvements he had made under the guidance of the Jennings clan.

“Since joining the Jennings Gym my defence has come on leaps and bounds and my footwork has too but I generally have improved in every department.”
