Griffiths now ranked fourth in Australia
Griffiths picked up the Australasian Welterweight Title in late March when he met Faavesi Isaako.
“It was a good hard fight and a great learning curve for me and I needed a fight like that in my career ... but in the end I think I was too strong and the bigger puncher,” he said. “I dropped him in the third round with a flurry of punches but it was the right hands that put him down. “Then he got up and I feel the bell saved him. “Then into the fourth round I think I just wore him down and towards the end of the round I hit him with some body shots which took a toll on him and then I hit him with the right, then I knew I had him and their corner threw in the towel.” Griffiths has been travelling since and is training in Mexico alongside Stevie Spark who has a massive fight this weekend, on the undercard of middleweight world champion Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez. He will have the privilege of being there when Sparks steps into the ring before a crowd of more than 50,000 on Saturday night. Then it will be home to Pittsworth for our local lad and more training while he awaits his next fight.
