DURING the same week news broke that he'd signed a promotional deal with Queensberry and Frank Warren, Olympic bronze medallist Lewis Richardson has a confirmed fight date for his pro debut.
Ten months after narrowly falling short in his Olympic semi-final, the skilled southpaw will feature in a six-round middleweight contest on the Fabio Wardley vs. Justis Huni undercard at Portman Road, June 7.
Speaking on talkSPORT's Saturday night show, the Colchester-born talent acknowledged comments about exceeding expectations given a difficult Olympic draw compared to other British boxers last summer.
He was the only one, from a six-strong qualifying team, to medal for Great Britain and spoke of wanting revenge in the paid ranks against an opponent who made a quick pro debut in the Saudi capital this weekend.
"Yeah, the draw wasn't favourable for me - least favoured to medal - but we turned those odds around and showed what we were capable of, I've got good memories of Paris and am proud of bronze.
"Even though I wanted more, I'm still grateful of what I achieved and Verde makes his debut on the Canelo undercard... I would love to run that

MARCO VERDE: “I WANT TO WIN A MEDAL IN PARIS 2024”
The Santiago 2023 Pan American champion in the 71 kg category has arrived to Mulhouse with the Mexican team. With motivation running high he shared with us his goals, the great support Paris 2024 is having, and one of his idols Canelo Álvarez.
Many people still keep in their memories the Boxing 71kg category finals at the Santiago 2023 Pan American Games.
At that moment, a young Mexican boxer received a big round of applause from the spectators for his strength, technique, and passion in the ring. He faced a strong opponent, José Rodriguez from Ecuador, but the efficiency of the Sinaloa-born athlete, his quick movements, and his concentration allowed him to dominate the bout, winning the gold medal and celebrate with a Paris 2024 qualification.
Almost 9 months have passed since Marco Verde reached the glory in Santiago, and today he is counting down the days to get on the ring at the Olympic Games and make true his, and his father’s dream, who was also a boxer in his days.
You are facing your first Olympic Games in your career. How do you feel and what do you expect from this experience?
