Morden boxer Lenny Daws is hoping a step back into the ring after seven months kicking his heels can relaunch his professional career.

And the 29-year-old former Rosehill ABC fighter has this website to thank for his second chance.

Daws is chief support act for Friday night's British super-bantamweight title bout between Esham Pickering and Matthew Marsh at York Hall in front of Sky Sports' cameras.

He takes on Romanian Mihaita Mutu over 10 rounds.

He has not fought since his English light-welterweight title stalemate with Nigel Wright at the same venue in November, and had feared he may have to quit promoter Mick Hennessy's stable to get back on track.

But the Comet's report on the fighter's frustration at a lack of action triggered Friday's match-up with Mutu.

The 31-year-old will prove a tough opponent for Daws, having won 17 of his 27 fights - seven by knockout - and been in action as recently as March 29, when he defeated Britain's Lee McAllister by a unanimous points decision over 12 rounds.

Daws is hoping a good show can lead to another crack at the British title he lost to Scotsman Barry Morrison at Alexandra Palace 18 months ago.

"It is always important to look good in the ring to stamp my name out there and show everyone I still mean business," he said.

"Mick saw an article on the internet a few weeks ago saying I wasn't happy and immediately got in touch, and now I have got a fight.

"It has been a bit last minute, but I have to make do with that and get on with it.

"When I am in the ring, it is down to me to show what I'm capable of.

"If it goes well, things should be back on track and I can start calling fighters out. I want to get my title back."

Daws, who has lost only once in 17 fights, surrendered his British title on points to Morrison in January last year, having been ring rusty after eight months without a bout.

But he is confident he can blow out the cobwebs on Friday to put on an eye-catching display and prove his critics wrong.

"I have keeping my eye in with some sparring to make sure I was ready to go at a moment's notice," he added.

"I am in great shape and just want to get proper fight under my belt to get things up and running again.

"I might be a little rusty in the opening rounds. I feel the best I have done for a while.

"I am used to long fights and, once I get into it, I should be fine."
