“I’m going to win it and put Morecambe and Lancaster on the map.
“I think Alan Lamb was the last person from our area to fight for a British title 30 or 40 years ago.
“If I do it, it will be a dream come true.
“One day I want that big fight at Morecambe’s football ground.
“If I can get the British title then who knows.”

The Morecambe man is however supremely confident that when all is said and done he’s going to come out on top.
“I’m going to win and I’m going to win in style,” Lowe, 14-0-2 as a professional, said.
“It’s either going to be a knockout or a stoppage but the most important thing is that my hand gets raised.
“As long as I win I don’t care.”

“It’s going to be an absolute blockbuster,” he said.
“I think they’re both going to get stuck into it, a bit like me and Ryan.
“I’m going with George Groves myself.
“He’s more likely to stick to his boxing, although I’m expecting it to be a tear up, and I think he’s got the power to hurt Eubank.”
