Jordan Gill stopped Michael Conlan in the seventh round of their fight back in December
Jordan Gill says he found some of the predictions for his December fight with Michael Conlan as "laughable".
The29-year-old is aiming to make it two big away day wins in a row when he takes on Manchester's former World title challenger Zelfa Barrett in a massive super-featherweight showdown at the AO Arena this Saturday.Gill said: “Heading into the Conlan fight in December it was just laughable because everyone tipped him. I knew how good I am. I knew what I’m capable of. I knew that I had to upset people and knew I had to have something to prove.
Looking ahead to Saturday's fight against Barrett, Gill added: “I just like upsetting people and I think I get a kick out of people telling me that I can't win fights. Everyone expected me to lose the Conlan fight, and going in there and pulling it off – for me that’s exciting and that’s what boxing is all about. It’s all about the good fights and this is a really good fight. I’m ready to go to the well.
