Charles Crawley Interview

Fighter profile of Charles Crawley by Callum McGregor

What: Joining me now is Charles Crawley, 2-0 and currently scheduled to compete at Highland Challengers 5 for the Light Heavyweight title. How does it feel to be in this position?

Crawley: It feels awesome to be in this position, but I'm trying to keep my feet on the ground. Yes, I know getting a title fight is a great honour and if I win I'm going to be the king of the mountain but I also need to face facts: Mel Gordon is a freaking machine and beating him won't be easy.  

What: In your last fight, you were constantly seeking a stoppage but your opponent was more focused on avoiding punches and ducking under shots. This fight is sure to be the complete opposite. Do you feel that will open up more opportunities for you?  

Crawley:  I can only hope that will be the case but that also means that I need to be more careful. I think we're pretty evenly matched so one mistake could cost either one of us the entire fight. To be victorious I'll need to constantly be on my toes but I know I can do it.  

What: And lastly, what's your final prediction?  

Crawley: If things go my way, it's going to a hard fought strategic battle but in the end I will get my hand raised. Mel is a tough nut to crack but he'll find out that I'm not so easy to crack either. Now Jim, who do you think will be the first Highland Challengers light heavyweight champion?  

What: I wouldn't be wise for an interviewer to make a prediction. All I can do is wish you luck in your upcoming contest.  

Crawley: That's indeed a wise decision. Thanks a lot for another great interview and I hope we can do this again sometime.
