Witter’s web war with Harris
After winning the web war with his mandatory challenger, Junior Witter is confident of victory again when he defends his WBC Light-Welterweight Title against Vivian Harris at the The Dome at Doncaster Lakeside on Friday, 7th September.
‘The Hitter’ makes his second world title defence against former WBA champion Harris (New York/Guyana) following an exchange of hostile emails with his opponent.
Witter (Bradford/Doncaster) claims he got the better of ‘Vicious’ Harris over the internet and is confident of doing the same on the Hennessy Sports show which will be shown live on Sky Sports.
“He found my website on MySpace and left a couple messages for me through it after his fight with Juan Lazcano,” said Junior.
“I would rather not get into a slanging match with him, but if he wants one then I will win that as well.
“His messages weren’t that original or funny. I didn’t go on MySpace to do that sort of thing, but I sent replies back in the end and I’ve not heard anything since from him.
“He can say whatever he wants, but it won’t make any difference on the night because I’m keeping my belt.
“We are both boxers, not brawlers, so it will be technical but I think my speed will win on the night.
“Once he starts feeling my power, he won’t have an answer, just like with the emails.”
The Hennessy Sports show in association with title partners GoldenPalace.com will be screened live on Sky Sports and also features the English Super-Flyweight Title fight between Robert Nelson and Andy Bell in an all-Yorkshire encounter.
Also in action is top domestic lightweight Lee Meager, who meets Hungarian Laszlo Komjathi in an international ten round contest.
