Jazza Dickens is confident redemption will be his when he fights for the vacant IBF featherweight world title.

The Liverpudlian is set to face Kid Galahad in the coming months, eight years after he was stopped by the Ingle trained fighter for the British title.

Jazza, who is working on an initiative to help families of addiction with Maverick Stars Trust, believes the time is right for him to finally get his hands on major honours.

"By fighting the only man to have me on the floor, that redemption story is something that makes it more exciting," he said.

"I'll show my family and supporters what it takes, the hard work it takes to turn something around like that and believe in yourself. If you keep believing in yourself, you can do anything you want."
