Press Release: Junior Witter, who is scheduled to defend his WBC 140-pound title on January 20, 2007 against Arturo Morua, will take a break from his Christmas training schedule to appear at a soccer match at Valley Parade on Boxing Day. The 32-year-old racked up a dominant points win over DeMarcus Corley in his last fight to annex the vacant title. Witter will appear at half time of Bradford City’s home match against rivals Doncaster Rovers in an extension of the recognition he has already received from the city where he was born. “The reception I have had at home since winning my title has been unbelievable,” said Witter. “The Mayor organized a civic reception for me shortly after I beat Corley, but that was just the beginning of it. It has been something very special. It’s a time I won’t forget; I’m very proud of being from Bradford. It’s always a buzz to be at Valley Parade. I have been on the pitch a couple of times before, but now that it’s sunk in that I’m a world champion I’m looking forward to sitting back and taking in the atmosphere.” Witter will fit his visit to Valley Parade into an already busy Christmas schedule. “I’m not taking any extra days off over the next couple of weeks,” Witter said. “I only have Sundays for rest and that’s how it will stay. I will train Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Years Day. They will just be normal days in the office. My diet won’t change either. The only Turkey I get will be how I always have it: steamed and with vegetables.”
