Commonwealth champ Dominic Vea chasing a shot at Danny Green

Commonwealth Cruiserweight champion Dominic Vea is back in Sydney after touring the USA and is chasing a shot at Danny Green after the Perth boxer’s most recent farcical bout.

“Danny claims he’s a ‘fighter’ but I don’t see him taking on any young Aussie fighters,” says Vea. “I’ve been an Australian and regional champion, and am currently the Commonwealth champ. My credentials are there for Danny to promote me as a worthy opponent.”

There is enough history between Vea (13-2, 10KO) and Green to fuel a brutal encounter deluded fight fans need to see. In April, Green broke Vea’s nose in a sparring session just days before his bout with Anthony McCracken. Vea went on to lose to McCracken by split decision in a bloody encounter. His nose not fully recovered, Vea fought another bloody war to claim the Commonwealth title.

“I’m after a bit of payback for the broken nose which cost me two regional belts. I’ve gone the distance twice without being able to breathe properly - that’s what being a ‘fighter’ is. I’m keen to show Danny what the word means,” says Vea.

While in the USA, Dom visited a number of gyms including Justin Fortune’s Fortune Gym. Watching the elite train validated Vea’s current regime and left him hungrier than ever. Fortune himself commented that Dom has what it takes to knock Green over.

Vea’s manager Justin Clenshaw says, “Australian boxing lacks success because of a lack of household names. How can fighters become known when guys like Danny Green are picking foreigners or retired boxers? Danny Green has the chance to give opportunities to Aussie fighters and grow Aussie boxing. Why even consider guys like Shane Cameron only to help New Zealand boxing to the detriment of our local talent?”
