GUYANA’S first world boxing champion Andrew `Six Head’ Lewis is ready to take on the winner of the Clive Atwell/Sakima Mullings welterweight bout planned for February 21 at the Cliff Anderson Sports Hall. 

Lewis was scheduled to battle the Jamaican Mullings but suffered injury to his collarbone recently, paving the way for Atwell to come in as a replacement. “I want to take on the winner of this fight. I know I have the ability to beat either one of them,” Lewis said yesterday.
Lewis last fought in October 2008 and was getting rid of six years of ring rust when he sustained injury.
“I want to go on record as calling out the winner. I have been given time to rest by the doctor but would be back in training as soon as that is over. I’ll be ready and waiting for the winner,” the 44-year-old Lewis assured.
Atwell, who resides in Dominica, is coming off back-to-back defeats last year. In May he was defeated via a technical decision by WBC featherweight champion Jhonny Gonzales of Mexico. Six months later Atwell was TKOed in round 10 by Australian Kye MacKenzie.
He would be moving into unfamiliar waters as his heaviest competition has been in the super featherweight division. However, the February 21 contest is billed for the welterweight division.
Since 2011, Mullings defeated Guyanese Winston Pompey, Howard Eastman, Revlon Lake and Derick Richmond. The CABOFE and Jamaica welterweight champion has chalked up 18 fights during the time of Lewis’ inactivity.
Lewis won the WBA title in February 2001 with a seventh-round stoppage of James Page.
Lewis claimed to be comfortable fighting in either the junior middleweight or welterweight division. “I don’t want to let weight be a problem. Six Head is ready to fight as a welterweight or a junior middleweight. I just want to fight,” said the southpaw former world champion.
The Atwell/Mullings fight will headline a five-bout card being organised by the Guyana Boxing Board of Control.
