Remember the name – Adil Anwar.

The Leeds youngster announced himself on the British boxing scene in no uncertain fashion at the Civic Hall in Wolverhampton on Saturday night with three excellent performances, as he stormed to the light welterweight Prizefighter trophy plus the cash prize of £32,000. Anwar displayed flashy boxing skills in his wins over former British champion Barry Morrison, two-time lightweight title challenger John Watson, and in the final against star-of-the-future Tyrone Nurse, becoming one of the best ever Prizefighter winners, and clearly a boxer with the potential to go a long way.

24-year-old Anwar [16-1, seven KOs] who goes by the nickname of ''The Platinum Kid'', is a cocky, confident character whose personality is reflected in his fighting style. At 5'10" and with a long reach, Anwar has competed at welterweight for most of his ring career, but looked well suited to the 140 lb class, and has now set his sights on a crack at British champion Ashley Theophane. Despite his relative inexperience, Anwar's skill level is excellent, with fast hand and foot speed, and while he frequently carries his hands low, he has the reflexes to keep out of trouble. All he lacks at the moment is a little more power in his punches.

In the final he faced the revelation of the tournament – 22-year-old Tyrone Nurse, who had entered Prizefighter with a record of 20-0, yet had next to no experience against quality opposition. Nurse faced this writer's pick to win Prizefighter – Dale Miles – in the quarterfinals, and was possibly a little fortunate that the fight was stopped in the third round due to a severe cuts over Miles' eye. Nurse had won the first round commandingly, but big punching Miles has roared back to take the second and was possibly poised to win the fight.

In his semifinal, Nurse squeaked by the vastly experienced Young Motley – going through 29-28 on all three judges scorecards. At 5'11", Nurse has tremendous potential, and is reminiscent of a young Tommy Hearns style-wise, though is yet to develop the punching power of the Detroit ''Hitman.'' If he can put a little more leverage into his punches, the power will come, and he also has the potential go a long way in the sport.

There was not much in it between Anwar and Nurse in the final. Anwar had a few more tricks up his sleeve and that touch of star quality that saw him edge each round in this writer's opinion, but if Nurse continues to improve at the rate he did on Saturday, the result could be different in a rematch one day.

After the fight, Anwar, who is now scheduled to meet Lenny Daws in an eliminator for a crack at the British light welterweight title, said of his final opponent:

''Tyrone is a good operator but I was a lot faster and a lot slicker. The jab was the secret tonight and now I want to test myself against the bigger names. I won the English welterweight title under the radar and I've been avoided. Now I have won Prizefighter live on Sky Sports without getting out of second gear. I've shown I bring a lot to the table.'' Anwar told Sky.

''This was my first televised performance and that has been frustrating for me as I think that I've got a lot, and that people will want to watch me. I brought a lot of great fans down with me but at the end, everyone was supporting me because I'm entertaining, and that's what it's all about. I wanted to shine and I think I have. I'm a risk taker and tonight could have been seen as a risk, but I was hugely confident of winning this and I think this will open big doors for me now.''

On his ambitions for the future Anwar said: ''I want to fight Ashley Theophane but I don't care who I fight really. I know I have the goods and now I've won this, I don't need to go hunting, I've proved I got the goods.''

I predict that both Anwar and Nurse will become forces to be reckoned with on the UK domestic scene within the next 12 months.
