Tyson Cave is doing everything he can to get the attention of the world’s best bantamweights.

The Halifax native has spent the past month in Lowell, Mass., working with high-profile trainers Dicky Eklund and Micky Ward, and is on a four-fight winning streak entering Saturday’s bout with Saturnino Nava at Palooka’s Boxing Club on Gottingen Street.

Cave, 14-1, is hoping a win over Mexico’s Nava (8-9) will finally get him the attention he feels he deserves.

“I’m looking for some big names ‘ I’ve proven myself,” said Cave, who is ranked 30th by the WBC.

“It seems like these guys have been under-looking me, going on to easier opponents. But a couple of more wins, I don’t think they can hide from me too much longer.”

Cave, who currently holds the WBC Continental Americas belt, said the tutelage of Eklund and Ward has made him much harder to beat.

The half-brothers were accomplished boxers from the 1970s to the early 2000s and gained recent attention as the subjects of the movie The Fighter, featuring Christian Bale and Mark Wahlberg.

Cave signed on with them six months ago but his recent training stint is his longest yet.

“My power’s better, my weight’s better, my diet’s better, everything’s better,” Cave said. “When they took me on they said, ‘Either you want to be champ or we’re not going to deal with you.’ And I said, ‘I want to be champ.’ We’re looking for bigger, better fights. I’m getting stronger, faster, and it’s showing in my last fights.”

Cave is known for his confidence and has no shortage of it going into Saturday’s bout.

“I’m in the best shape of my life, I can’t picture me losing right now,” he said.
