Sutherland banking on durability of ‘tricky journeyman’

DARREN SUTHERLAND will face Belarussian fighter Siarhei Navarka in Wigan this night week in his second professional outing with promoter Frank Moloney already pushing ahead target dates for a title fight.

Sutherland fights on the undercard to the Jamie Moore-Michele Piccirillo fight. And the Olympic bronze medallist says he would fight for a world title tomorrow if he had the opportunity.

That’s not realistic, however, and he will settle for Navarka — a Belarusian who has won just six of his 28 professional fights.
