"Super" Scott Haywood Returns
To Action In Stoke
May 20, 2009
(MAY 20) Former English light
welterweight titlist Scott Haywood makes his return to the ring on the
undercard of the Chris Edwards vs. Ahmed Usman British flyweight title
clash on Friday, May 29 in Stoke, England. Haywood, 19-3 (4), was
last seen in the squared circle at Barnsley Metrodome in February during
an unsuccessful bid to unseat world rated Commonwealth king Ajose
Olusegun.
The lanky 6 footer saw a seven bout win streak snapped against Olusegun
and will now look to get back on the horse in a six rounder at Stoke's
Fenton Manor Sports Complex.
Facing Haywood in the opposite corner will be former amateur standout
Michael Frontin, originally from Mauritius, who now makes London his
home.
Frontin, 1-5-1 (0), is far better than his record indicates as he's been
thrown in with the likes of seasoned veterans Oluseguin and Scott Lawton
as well as hot prospects such as Nicki Smedley and Ben Murphy.
Combined, Frontin's opponents brought a cumulative record of 82-13 into
their contests with the 31 year old African native.
Frontin, who holds a victory over Murphy and held Ryan Barrett to a
draw, will be looking to spoil the return of Haywood, who must win this
contest of he is to have a prayer of recapturing his former standing as
one of Britain's top light welters.
