Welsh star Sean McGoldrick says he has a new lease of life after teaming up with new trainer Jamie Moore.

The 2010 Commonwealth gold medallist has recently made the decision to change his training set-up, and McGoldrick (7-0) is excited to be working with his new team.

McGoldrick said: “I’m delighted to team up with Jamie Moore. Both him and Nigel Travis are fantastic coaches and I’m confident they can help me achieve what I want to achieve in boxing.

“I’ve been in touch with Jamie for a while to see if he would be able to train me and now everything has fell into place at the right time. 

“It is only my first week in the gym but there is a great buzz around the place and it’s such a happy and good place to train.

“I have a new lease of life. I’ve been excited to go to the gym and now I’m always looking forward to the next session.

“Both Jamie and Nigel know exactly what they’re talking about and I personally think they are the right people to take me forward. Everybody is working hard in the gym and learning at the same time.”

Undefeated Celtic light-heavyweight champion Steven Ward will be back in action in his home city on the MTK Global show at Ulster Hall on March 29.

‘The Quiet Man’ (9-0-KO3) overcame some ugly tactics from Rolando Paredes in October and having healed from injuries sustained in that fight, is delighted by the prospect of performing at the prestigious Belfast venue live on iFL TV.

Ward said: “I’ve healed up now. There was damage than we thought at the time because there was an orbital fracture. I’m 100% now and I’m looking forward to getting back in there. I learned a lot in that last fight.

“There’s nothing like fighting in your home city. Everyone knows it. To fight in the Ulster Hall is amazing. I fought there as a kid but to have a professional show in there is phenomenal. It’s right in the city centre.

“This place oozes boxing history. Years and years and years ago, I have memories of going and watching boxing there as a kid. Now for me to be boxing in there myself is an absolute honour. It’s a beautiful place.

“These MTK Global fight nights are going everywhere. Six shows at the start of the year is unheard of. There’s real quality on them too. They want all their fighters to be active. Now they’ve got the Ulster Hall.

“For where I’m from, the people that support me from Rathfern, Rathcoole and Monkstown – plus the people from where I live now in Taughmonagh – can all get to the venue easily. I’m sure it’s going to be a sell-out and it’s a fantastic bill.”

Joining Ward on the card is team-mate and gym-mate Conrad Cummings, who defends the WBO European middleweight title over his former conqueror Luke Keeler plus Sean McComb, Steven Donnelly and more.
