“I am still improving along the way.
“I am ready to go and get it over and done with just now.
“Ticket sales are going all right and we will still have regular boxing fans coming along for the fight.”
Like many fighters, the 20-year-old says that there isn’t really much of a story behind his nickname Sniper.
He added: “It was a boy at the club who came out with sniper.
“It goes with my last name which is a good thing.
“We were struggling to find names for myself, so there’s not much of story from that.”
Meanwhile his older brother Billy Stuart is set to take part in his 10th pro bout.
