ASIF Vali believes his unbeaten fighter Osman Aslam will be fast-tracked into title fights next year.

Bolton boxing manager Vali – who also looks after heavyweight world champion Tyson Fury – is convinced he has a real talent on his hands in Aslam who has his eighth professional fight tomorrow night.

The 22-year-old bantamweight stretched his unbeaten professional record to seven wins with a points decision against Brett Fidoe at Lancashire County Cricket Club’s Emirates Old Trafford last month.

Five of his victims have come this year and the Halliwell youngster will be looking to make it six and end the year on a high when he takes on Poland’s Kamil Jaworek at Manchester’s Bowler’s Exhibition Centre tomorrow.

It will be a first eight-rounder for former ABA winner Aslam, whose record includes two knockouts.

Jaworek has won three of six fights but has only been stopped once and should prove a durable test.

“I know a bit about what it takes to get to the very top of this sport,” said Vali, Amir Khan’s former manager.

“And I sincerely believe we have a real talent on our hands in Osman.

“He began boxing at the Bolton Lads and Girls Club, which is where Khan also started out and I see him following a similar path in the pros.

“Osman has all the skills, has extremely quick hands and he can punch very hard.

“He’s also got a great trainer in Alex Matvienko [at Elite Boxing gym in Halliwell] and is constantly learning and improving because he has a really sensible head on his shoulders.

“He’s got to get through this test first, and every fight is dangerous, but if he does win then we’ll be looking to match him harder and move him into title contention next year.

“He’s in the smaller weight category, which means the big opportunities come around quicker, so 2017 will be a very exciting time.

“I hope boxing fans in the North West get behind him because it’s going to be a great journey.

“I also want to thank promoter Kieran Farrell for putting Osman on this upcoming show.

“Kieran was a top fighter, is proving himself in the promoting business and it’s great to be working with him.”
