Boxer David Jamieson returns stronger after jaw break KOs British title bid
Boxer David Jamieson is looking to get right back to where he was before breaking his jaw back in November – and that could spell trouble for Willbeforce Shihepo.
Westwood cruiserweight Jamieson, 31, will step into the ring against experienced Namibian Shihepo in an eight-rounder at Sam Kynoch’s Braveheart night at the Doubletree by Hilton in Glasgow on Friday, March 10.
IBO Intercontinental champion Jamieson is looking to knock out the 41-year-old early and prove he’s back to his best.
Jamieson suffered a broken jaw when contesting the British cruiserweight title against Mikael Lawal – the only opponent to beat him, and twice – in London, live on Sky Sports, resulting in a titanium plate being inserted.
David looked to be on the verge of victory when his opponent hit him with a crushing left-hand punch that ended the fight in Lawal’s favour.
He has since been assured by surgeons that the jaw is stronger than it was before, and by Sky Sports that he will be given more opportunities.
‘Black Mamba’ Shihepo stands between Jamieson and a possible title fight later this year.
He said: “There is the possibility of some serious, big fights, back on the TV in the summer.
“I want bigger fights, I want better things.

Jamieson added: “This is the first fight since breaking my jaw, and it will be good to get things back on track and get moving.
“The jaw has healed up fine. It still feels a bit strange, but I’ve been in to speak to the surgeons, they’ve x-rayed it, and assured me it’s just scar tissue.
“I’m back in and feeling stronger. We’ve been sparring, taking shots, everything is fine, and I’m raring to go.”
Jamieson’s not daft and knows that people will have seen the Lawal defeat and wondered if that was ‘it’ for him.
He will have had doubts himself, too.

And he said: “We’re not looking to take any steps back. It will be an eight-rounder.
“ I’ll not be boxing anything less than that. I’ll be looking to stop the lad – I’m always looking to stop my opponent – and press back into title contention.
“The goal was to get back healed up as quickly as possible, make sure everything’s right, and get right back out there.
“People were thinking ‘is he going to box again’ and ‘how’s the jaw going to be’, but I’ve been assured the jaw will be stronger than it was.

Tony Gilroy teases how 'Andor' Season 2 will tell the stories of the 'original gangsters' of the Rebellion,Andor creator Tony Gilroy has been talking for quite some time, since well before the series debuted earlier this fall, about his ambitions for the Rogue One prequel series. This is, in Gilroy's eyes, not just a show about how Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) goes from small-time crook to freedom fighter, but how the Rebel Alliance as we see it in A New Hope is forged from a loose coalition of extremists, politicians, and fighters with nowhere else to go.
