Sorry chaps, not looked in on this thread for a couple of days.
In answer to Barinder's question it's 99% confirmed that Andy will be matched with Wilson Snoddy from Belfast (former WKA world champion and holder of many Irish titles), so yes Shawn, credible and VERY good opponent.
I've seen Wilson in action a couple of times and he's mint! It will be worth a trip up north to see it.
It's true that Welsey's camp did ask for the match but I didn't know him and had to do some asking around first. No disrespect to the guy (at all) but I don't think he's yet ready to compete at this kind of level (but game of him to ask!) and Barinder illustrated that fact very swiftly, confirming my thoughts on the matter.
Yes Mick, Andy is the current champion, he took it from Carl Swaby from Cheltenham. In answer to your other question, yes, I certainly hope so. Barinder V Burty will be an awesome match. I know Barinder has asked on another thread to fight the winner of the WKF world title (coming off in Italy, so (touch wood) if Andy brings it home and the powers that be are happy to sanction the match, then that may well be the opportunity to make it happen.
Thanks all of you for your interest in this thread.
