THE team behind Andrew Selby at Newport’s St Joseph’s boxing gym remain convinced their man is on course for a world title, after he dominated a former world title challenger this weekend.

The younger brother of world champion Lee Selby enjoyed such a glittering amateur career that he has been fast-tracked for professional stardom and on Saturday chalked up his third victory in the paid ranks in just over five weeks.

Selby recorded his third victory in five weeks with one-sided points win over former world title challenger Everth Briceno.

The Nicaraguan is a former world title contender, but Selby looking comfortable and stylish on-route to a routine win.

The 26-year-old won each of the six rounds on Saturday night and believes he will soon be ready to challenge for a world title.

He said: “Hopefully I can break records - win a British title, then maybe go for a European or world title straight away.

“It's very realistic, that's the plan. After 10 fights I want to go for a world title.”

That view is supported by his team.

Trainer Tony Borg told the Argus: “It’s not like with other fighters, we don’t feel like Andrew is starting from scratch in the professional ranks, it’s like he’s had his early fights already, and by boxing at the level he has.

“The sky is the limit for him. He can fight every couple of weeks because his weight doesn’t change and his natural talent is unbelievable.”

Selby totally dominated the contest at the Westcroft Leisure Centre in Carshalton, Surrey.

The fight received live coverage on Spike TV in the US and then a delayed repeat on terrestrial broadcaster Channel 5, exposing Selby to a wider audience for the first time.

Selby has now won three times 36-days since joining the paid ranks.

He stopped former WBO regional title challenger Haji Juma in four rounds at the Newport Centre, before halting the previously unbeaten Jozsef Ajtaieven in less than five minutes in Bristol.
