Promise

Cardle has had a busy year but says he wouldn't have it any other way. "I'm happy. Eddie (Hearn) wanted me to have a busy first year and he's kept his promise," he added. "It's what I wanted, to stay in the gym the whole year, and it's all working out, I'm progressing nicely and stepping up when I need to." Cardle has a regular sparring partner in former British champion Anthony Crolla and the youngster is benefitting from the experience. "Me and Crolla are more or less the same weight, so we spar regularly," said Cardle. "He's very unpredictable so it's good to learn from him. "If I'm doing half okay with Crolla I feel confident for the fight."
