Cox & Royer come face-to-face ahead of this weekend's big Oasis clash
Swindon boxer Jamie Cox looks in top shape for what he describes as 'the biggest fight of my career' tomorrow (Saturday 15 June) night.
The southpaw and former Commonwealth champion takes on Frenchman Matiouze Roser at the Oasis in his first bout since recovering from a horrific hand injury two years ago.
At the weigh-in today at Fratello's restaurant, a confident Cox reiterated his desire for a return to the boxing big time.
"I'm fit. I'm ready. And I know I've still got what he takes," the 24-year-old said, "and this is my first step back."

Swindon middleweight Jamie Cox will make his long-awaited return to professional boxing at the Oasis this summer.
It will be the former Commonwealth gold medallist's first bout since suffering a horror injury to his left hand when beating Obodai Sai to claim the Commonwealth light-middleweight title in September 2011, a belt he was subsequently forced to relinquish.
Now under new manager PJ Rowson, a new trainer and with a new local sponsor, FN Foods, the undefeated Swindon south paw feels his time has come again.
