BOXING star Josh Adewale believes he is only beginning to show his potential after an emphatic win over the durable Victor Edagha.

Adewale, 24, won praise from supporters and journalists in attendance after what was one of the most one-sided victories you are likely to see.

It was a widest loss of his career for Edagha despite having faced the likes of British champion, Ted Cheeseman, and WBC Youth Challenger, Ryan Martin.

There have been calls already to have the Cippenham-based prospect in title contention but, despite the plaudits, Adewale reckons there is a lot more to come.

He told the Observer: "It's great to hear such nice things said after the win but, if you asked me straight after the fight about my performance, I would have said it was only okay.

"People in boxing know what a tough guy Victor is. I was warned beforehand that he would use every trick in the book so I knew I had to be on it.

"I caught him with some really big shots and knew after I put him down that he didn't really fancy it.

"It was a shame I couldn't get him out of there but the referee was so lenient. Another referee might have jumped in and stopped it when he was getting caught a lot but it is what it is now.

"I'm still learning and improving even with every training session, so I can't sit here and say that was anywhere near the best version of me.

"There's so much more time come but I always said I was better suited to the professional game with my style.

"If you look at my improvement from my last amateur fight to my professional debut, and now from the debut to my last performance, it keeps on getting better.

"I train every day with my coach, Ian Bailey. I take no days off and all I want to do is get better.

"I've said before I want to be someone that people from my area can be proud of and that's what I'm aiming to do."
