Lawrence vs De Clou bout postponed till March 26

Lawrence have been training extensively for this fight, with a routine consisting of six-mile runs (inclusive of wind sprints) daily, weights training, wood chopping with effects and free weights. And, during the next fortnight, the 29-year-old will have frequent sparring partners, as he continues preparations for the first defence of the title which he won last January, after defeating Nigel “Cow” Edwards in Siparia. Lawrence’s manager Boxu Potts, in a media release, stated, “as we are preparing Sheldon for this fight, we are not leaving anything to chance. We know De Clou has been to the ring on 16 occasions and was successful in 13 of the 16 (bouts) so we are treating him as a very formidable opponent.” Potts added, “we are very aware (that) we are going in De Clou backyard in Guyana so we are definitely moving with neutral judges — one from Venezuela, one from Guyana and the other from Trinidad.”
