Maloney's search for a Star

SCOTT WOOLFORD showed he was for real against Matthew Hatton last time out. Now the exciting Ramsgate boxer bids to show promoter Frank Maloney he doesn't need to look any further for his next superstar. Maloney stages his next non-televised 'Search For A Star' bill at York Hall, Bethnal Green on Saturday November 15. Although former Maloney promoted fighter David Haye will be hogging the headlines at the O2 Arena on the same night, Maloney reckons fans will get proper value for money at his show. Maloney, who guided Haye to the world cruiserweight title said: "People accuse promoters with TV contracts of not taking risks, but I'm going up against what is supposedly one of the biggest nights in London boxing this year."One thing for sure is that at York Hall you will be guaranteed non-stop excitement and 50-50 fights." Woolford, 25, who dropped a narrow points verdict to Ricky Hatton's younger brother in September meets Colchester's Tom Glover (5-5-3) for the vacant Southern Area welterweight title over ten rounds. Ramsgate's Woolford (8-2) hopes a win against 27-year-old Glover will book him a place in the next series of British welterweight title eliminators. Maloney added: "Scott boxed magnificently against Matthew and I feel he deserved a draw for his performance. "He surprised me and that is why I am really going to push him over the next 12 months." Also on the bill is leading British light-middleweight contender Gary Woolcombe. He boxes Matt Scriven, who makes a living as a private security guard in war torn Iraq. And there is sure to be explosive action when Medway heavyweight Tom Dallas (2-0) and Larry 'The War Machine' Olubamiwo (1-0) box four rounders against selected opponents. Body Beautiful Olubamiwo who is 6ft 5in and almost 19 stone looked sensational on his debut last month stopping Vlado Szabo in the first round of a contest televised live on Sky Sports. Maloney predicts: "Dallas v 'The War Machine' will be one the best heavyweight match-ups in Britain in about 18 months."
