Alex Winwood (4-0) looks to become the fastest Australian male to a world title when he challenges Thailand's Thammanoon Niyomtrong (24-0), aka "Knockout CP Freshmart", for the WBA strawweight belt in Perth on September 7.
Freshmart won the interim WBA belt in 2014 before upgrading it to the full title in 2016, going on to make 11 defences in what is currently the sport’s longest ongoing title reign across a single division.
Western Australia's Winwood, 27, will be fighting in front of his home fans at the HBF Arena and is confident he can get the job done against his more experienced opponent.

"I don’t think he’s seen anyone quite as fast as me, nor as strong," Winwood told Sporting News in July.
"He likes opponents sitting in front of him and he beats them down, as most Thais do, they walk forward, but I’m a bit more evasive and I’m not going to play into his games and make him fight my fight."
