Liam Davies says his world title fight against IBO super-bantamweight champion Erik Robles Ayala is the biggest of his life.
European super-bantamweight champion Liam Davies said he is preparing for the "biggest fight of my life" as he attempts to win a version of the world title in Birmingham on Saturday.
Ayala has lost once in his 15-fight professional career but has won his last nine bouts and returns to the UK for the first time since winning the IBO title in July last year, when he unanimously out-pointed Scotland's Lee McGregor in Edinburgh. "I've been training hard, I've put myself through it and I can't see how anyone would want it more than myself."
"Telford has been great to me, the people always come to support me, I've always been respected like that. People pay their hard-earned money to come and watch me so Telford lies in a deep place in my heart. I hope it shows to all the young boxers that come through or from this area that anything's possible in life."
