Orange army set to roar Trevor on
Trevor, 27, had initially been slated to fight a local derby with Temi Mughal
Dylan Trevor will have a "loud and rowdy" support behind him as he seeks his sixth straight win as a professional boxer.
The former Dronfield super welterweight, who now lives in North Anston, will have an enthusiastic, orange-clad following when he takes on Ukrainian Mykhailo Sovtus, in Hull, on Saturday night.
"There is a coach load going - starting with breakfast at Wetherspoons and then leaving Sheffield around 4.30pm" he says.
"They will be loud and rowdy for sure - they are mostly my mates from growing up.
"The orange theme was originally picked by my little nephew Ollie as his favourite colour and it stuck because I can see everyone light up in the crowd with a sea of bright orange."
Trevor, 27, had initially been slated to fight a local derby with Temi Mughal, who trains at Junior Witter's gym in Rotherham, but the latter sustained a shoulder injury,
That meant having to fly in Sovtus, 33, from war-torn Ukraine.
While the seven-year professional journeyman has lost his last 27 fights and has 50 defeats on his CV, Trevor is taking nothing for granted.
"He will want to take my head off - he comes at you from the first bell to the last and never slows down. I will have to be sharp and switched on because he is brutal."
However, Trevor added: "He gets hit a lot because he leaves himself open."
That might present an opportunity for the South Yorkshireman, a Betfred technician, to claim his first knockout.
"This is my first six rounder and it will be another learning experience. But I have been a bit disappointed not to get a stoppage so far.
"In my last fight, my opponent (Jake Smith) said I had got close, and one more body shot and he'd have been out of there. But I feel a KO is coming soon."
