Satchell would dearly love to win the Lonsdale Belt for keeps but another challenger could take some time to emerge, so is expecting to move through the ranks fairly quickly. "I'll try and defend the title but I'm not going to be hanging around too long," said the 24-year-old. "The more time you spend with the Lonsdale Belt the more you don't want to let it go, but it's hard because there's only about five people at my weight so I'd have to wait for someone to turn pro and beat them! "I know a fight with Paul Butler has been talked about but Paul's very good at his weight and I think by the time I've done what I've got to do at flyweight and move up he'll be long gone. I'll do all I can at this weight." Kevin Satchell will defend his British and Commonwealth flyweight titles at the Echo Arena on February 23 on the David Price vs Tony Thompson undercard.
