Chatham heavyweight Tom Dallas heads into Wednesday night’s Prizefighter tournament as an outsider but it’s a tag he has no problems with.

The 27-year-old (pictured) will be going toe to toe with former world title challengers and knock-out specialists.

But the St Mary’s boxer is keen to let his gloves do the talking at Bethnal Green’s York Hall.

"It’s a good group and they are all tough but I am not bothered by any of them," said 6ft 6in Dallas.

"I feel fit and confident. Hopefully I can avoid their shots and catch them with a few shots of my own and knock them out. That’s my plan.

"I am the underdog without a doubt but that could suit me as there is no pressure on me and hopefully I can surprise a few people.

"I would love to win it and then I can turn around and stick two fingers to those critics. I just hope I can keep them quiet by doing my talking in the ring."

Dallas has lost his last two fights by knock-out after winning his previous 15 bouts.
