Boxing: Taylor Bevan ready for ‘step up’ against Martin Bulacio

It has been three months since Bevan was last in the ring, most recently beating Mickey Ellison back in December.

And while three months is not considered a long period of time between fights, it has been the biggest gap to date in Bevan’s career.

Bevan’s seven wins came in the space of just 13 months, in what has been a dream start to life as a professional fighter.

“It couldn’t have gone better,” said Bevan. “I’ve had seven wins and seven knockouts, so I couldn’t have asked for a better start.

“It’s more than I expected to be honest, I didn’t expect to be kept this active in my first year, it’s gone brilliantly so far.

“I think that’s important for a young fighter to stay active so you just roll into each camp.”

Despite the increasingly eye-catching record, Bevan said his most recent fight was the first he was happy with.

“I was pleased with my performance in that fight [against Mickey Ellison],” said Bevan.

“It is probably the first one I’ve actually been happy with. I’m very critical of myself.

“I feel like it’s taken me that long to settle into the pro game, to be honest.

“I’ve learnt loads from every fight and I’m hoping to build on that last fight going forward.

“I’m going to have to use things that I learnt from that fight to break Bulacio down over the eight rounds and look to get him out of there.

“But if it ends up going the eight and I win on points then I’ll be happy with that as well.”
