Former WBU super-featherweight champion Michael Gomez is in the hunt for another title bout as he prepares to take on Baz Carey.
Gomez eyes Burns, Johanneson or Mitchell fights
Former WBU super-featherweight champion Michael Gomez is in the hunt for another title bout.
The 31-year-old is set to fight against Baz Carey at Dalziel Park Country Club, near Motherwell, on 10th October.
The bout is a re-match after he beat Carey on points in March before his Commonwealth title loss to Amir Khan.
If he beats Carey again, Gomez would then like to take on either Commonwealth champion Ricky Burns, British title-holder Carl Johanneson or WBO Inter-Continental champion Kevin Mitchell.
The former British champion said: "As soon as I think I can't win titles, I'll knock it on the head.
"I'm not in this game for the love of the sport, I'm in it to make money and win titles.
No journeyman
"I am not going to turn into a journeyman. Okay, I've had nine losses, but three of them early on and all of the losses have been exciting.
"I'm probably one of the most exciting British fighters of the last 10 years. I'm looking for a title towards the end of this year and if not early next year."
The Manchester-based Irishman's turbulent life, which has seen him charged with murder and declared clinically dead, is being recreated in a film simply entitled 'Gomez'.
But he insists the film will not go to his head, saying: "It doesn't matter how much I'm on TV, it doesn't matter how much I earn.
Good father
"I'm Michael Gomez, I'm just me. No matter what people say about Michael Gomez, I've been a good father.
"I had nothing as a kid, I had holes in my trainers and I was a scruffy, smelly kid. I've still not changed.
"My kids go to school, they smell good, they can all read and write. I can't read and write.
"I give my kids everything I haven't got and that's what Michael Gomez is all about.
"The way I feed my kids is by fighting and I would fight every day if I could."
