Mason Cartwright has high hopes for the future after a perfect start to his professional boxing career.

Following in the footsteps of Paul Butler and Matty Fagan, Cartwright is the latest to roll off the Wirral Community Police ABC production line.

Cartwright turned professional last summer and made his debut in October, winning every round as he beat Duane ‘Mad Dog’ Green on points.

He had his second bout this month, again winning all four rounds as he defeated veteran Dee Mitchell.

Light middleweight Cartwright has been training under Anthony ’Arnie’ Farnell for four months but the 22-year-old reckons he has the talent to reach the top.

Cartwright said: “I believe I can go all the way and I think any boxer would say the same.

“I look at what Paul Butler has done in winning a world title and it shows you what is possible. You have to have that self belief and I’m strong, I’ve got a good work rate and it’s something I want.

“If I can keep that desire and hunger then I think I can go far but I will take it one step at a time and build myself up slowly, but I want to win titles.”

Chester-born Cartwright took up boxing at the then Vauxhall Motors ABC 16 years ago and owes his nickname ‘Nutty’ to coach Peter Phelan.

Cartwright said: “When I first went to the gym, I was a six-year-old little ginger kid and Peter said to me ‘what’s your name, Nutty’ as in gingernut and it stuck.

“Everyone in the gym calls me Nutty, no-one calls me Mason and it’s sentimental so I’ve got to stick with it haven’t I?

“Turning pro was something I’d always thought about from a young age but it really came to life from 18 or 19.

“My mates were all going out and drinking but I was always in the gym and I knew I wanted to be a professional.

“It was touch and go for a bit because I had a bad shoulder injury but, thankfully, I was able to recover and get back to training.

“Paul Butler Snr sorted out the contract with Frank Warren and Arnie took me on so everything came together nicely and I have been in the gym for 16 weeks now.”

Cartwright describes himself as an ‘aggressive and come forward’ fighter and plans to be as active as possible in 2015 as he looks to gain in-ring experience.

He said: “The first lad I boxed had won a handful of fights and had never been stopped, but I found it easy. I was able to pick him off and I felt strong as a light middleweight.

“The second has had about 80 contests and been in with the likes of Liam Smith and most of the fighters out there

“He’s only been stopped twice but I boxed his head off and came close to stopping him a couple of times, but the bell saved him.

“I don’t like to take a step back unless I want to and I’ve been working on throwing more shots rather than big ones

“I’m looking at getting out again in March at the ECHO Arena.

“Hopefully Paul will be fighting for a world title on that show, and then again on a show at the EPIC in Ellesmere Port in April.

“I’ve been told that if I keep winning and things go according to plan then I could have an area title fight next year which would be fantastic.

“The support so far has been amazing and I have sold hundreds of tickets, which helps because I don’t want to let them down.”
