Makin wants to be Liverpool's next great champion

Callum Makin has been hugely successful for GB Boxing, winning World and European bronze medals, but he has to choose what weight class to move to in order to pursue Olympic qualification; I have ambitions of being one of the best in the world, thats my aim, the 22-year-old says

Middleweight Callum Makin has excelled for the GB boxing team, but his Olympic future rests on a decision.

Makin has won medals for Britain at both the World and European championships at 75kgs. But, with Olympic qualification looming next year, he has to choose his weight category.

With 75kgs no longer an Olympic weight Makin has to move up or move down by five kilos.

Although he became a national champion twice over at light-middleweight, Makin expects to bulk up for his Olympic qualification campaign.

"It's either 70 or 80kgs for me, which is a massive jump either side," Makin told Sky Sports.

"I'm looking at doing 80 kilos and I'm going to progress on that. I'm going to go up a weight and build into a new weight.

"It's something that I'm confident of doing. With the right team around me, I'll be able to progress in that weight.
