Constantin Ursu eyes world title shot within a year

Unbeaten British welterweight champion Constantin Ursu aims for a world title opportunity within 12 months, following his successful title defense against Ben Vaughan in August. The 26-year-old, who also holds the Commonwealth title, expressed his dissatisfaction with his previous performance, believing he only showcased a fraction of his potential. Ursu is determined to defend his Lonsdale belt twice more before challenging for a world title. While he has had offers for IBO world title fights, those negotiations have yet to materialize. No upcoming fight is currently scheduled for Ursu.
