Casey aiming for Euro glory

Ireland's Willie 'Big Bang' Casey feels his Prizefighter victory at York Hall last night is merely the start of things to come.

“This victory means I’m up there at the top of the division and I’ve proved I can be with the best,” said a delighted Casey, who entered Prizefighter as a short-notice replacement after Wayne McCullough withdrew injured. 

“I only came here with five fights on my record but I beat everyone against all the odds.
 
“It was a great opportunity and if a big fight comes up then I will always take it. Prizefighter came along and without hesitation I accepted it.
 
“I was a bit edgy before the start as I normally come on stronger in the later rounds but then I had a fast start in my first fight.
 
“I showed a lot of character and that I have a big heart as there were some great lads in this.
 
“The best in Britain were in this competition including Esham Pickering and Jamie Arthur but I’m the one left standing.
 
“Who knows what the future holds? I might get a shot at the European title after winning Prizefighter. I’m very proud of everything I’ve done.”
