Collins hoping to step it up after win over ‘embarrassingly bad’ Latvian

Stevie Collins Jnr put his nine-month injury lay-off behind him with a bizarre win in the early hours of Sunday morning in London, then set his sights on a pivotal 2015.

Collins tore his rotator cuff back in February and has been tirelessly working his way back to full fitness ever since. But the nature of the injury restricted his movement so much that he has only been able to train for the past two months.

But that did not stop him from registering the fourth victory of his fledgling career with a lopsided win over late stand-in Mareks Kovalevskis, of Latvia, who was floored twice during their four-round contest.
