For Liam Davies, this is more than just a fight.
Personal glory and a world title are big enough motivators on their own, but the Telford scrapper is fighting for more than just belts and adulation.
More than three years later and Davies has already won British and European titles, among others, on his way to the holy grail – a world title shot. “This would make all the hard work and sacrifice worth it. If I can do this, I can live my life a happy man and bring another world champion to Telford.“I’ve spent the last two months with nothing on my mind but the task at hand and I can’t wait to get in there and do the business.“It still hurts me that he’s not here, but if I can do this and finish a journey I started with him, it will make me at peace.“I believe this is for me.
“It’s been good, I’ve left no stone unturned and put everything I have into it,” Davies added. “I’ve been to Italy and Scotland for sparring and really invested in myself for this camp.
