TV coverage is dream for Christopher

MIKE Tyler Christopher, the Bermudian who upped sticks to Birmingham in search of ring glory, has a new tagline for his blossoming career: “It gets greater later”

- 

Very catchy. Once Mike’s done and dusted with boxing, he should consider creating ad campaign slogans.

Mind you, things are pretty good at present. The 28-year-old light-middle is 10-0 and caused a real stir last time out by twice dropping Jordan Grannum.

Grannum is one of the most accomplished journeymen in the business and near impossible to floor. At Cannock in March, he was floored heavily by Christopher.

“When I dropped him the first time, I was surprised,” said Mike in an American-Caribbean drawl.

“He's a tricky journeyman and after the first knockdown he was still coming forward. It was only after the second that he went on the back foot.”
