Boxing: Sullivan out for revenge

Sean Sullivan will go to Wollongong with revenge on his mind when he meets Australian Oceania and Pacific welterweight belt-holder Shannon Taylor on April 15.

Sullivan narrowly lost a points decision to Taylor two years ago and is out to reverse that and to stop the cocky Australian's proclamations.

Last time Taylor said he would ko Sullivan inside three rounds. This time he is fighting after several easy wins and Sullivan is banking on taking advantage of his over-confidence.

Taylor has refused to put up his belt so Sullivan will not put his International Boxing Federation Pan Pacific title on the line either.

"He's dangerous," said Sullivan, "but that reluctance to put his title on the fight is weak. Maybe he needs something to hang on to psychologically."
