John Dennen speaks to rising Welsh middleweight Taylor Bevan
2021 will be dominated by the rescheduled Olympic Games. But next year will see the Commonwealth Games come to Birmingham. For some boxers that is already their primary target. Rising Welsh middleweight Taylor Bevan boxed in his first senior tournaments last year and is looking to make a mark at Birmingham 2022.
“I’ve been on the full time programme in Wales probably two and a half to three years now, it’s a four year cycle till the Commonwealths. I think it’s just under 500 days to the Birmingham one now. That’s my main focus at the moment. Obviously there’ll be tournaments leading up to it but my main goal is to box at the Commonwealth Games and hopefully get a gold medal at the Commonwealth Games,” Bevan said. “It’ll be brilliant in Birmingham, it’ll be lovely to get my family, friends and supporters, they’ll all travel up so it’ll be really good.”
