Boxing: Lockett looks good, says Farrell

Former WBO Intercontinental light-middleweight champion Anthony Farnell is backing Welsh prospect Gary Lockett to claim his old title at the MEN Arena in Manchester on Saturday night.

Farnell has given up the belt in favour of a move up to middleweight and makes his debut in that division against Burton’s Matt Gale on the undercard of Ricky Hatton’s latest WBU light-welterweight title defence this weekend.
