George Liddard is defending his British and Commonwealth titles against the experienced Tyler Denny at the Copper box arena.
The youngest ever British and Commonwealth middleweight champion George Liddard will defend his titles for the first time against the former European middleweight champion Tyler Denny.
The fight headlines Matchroom Boxing’s March 21st show at the Copper box arena in Stratford.
Liddard, a die hard West Ham fan has desires of one day headlining at his beloved London Stadium.
The Copper box is just a stones throw away from the London Stadium, and the Liddard army from Billericay, Essex are set to show up in their numbers.
The ‘Billericay Bomber’ put in a career best performance last time out becoming the first person to stop the experienced Kieran Conway.
After a spicy build-up, many believed that the fight was too soon for Liddard.
From start to finish, the 23 year old out worked Conway, and with undoubtedly a wide lead on the scorecards, Conway’s corner threw the towel in in round 10.
At the Copper box in March, Liddard will face a different test in Tyler Denny.
Denny has headlined a Matchroom show previously, when he defeated Felix Cash by technical decision.
His most recent defeat was in the co-main event at Wembley Stadium against one of Britain’s best fighters in Hamzah Sheeraz.
This highlights that once again the vast experience in this matchup will be stacked against Liddard, and it will be interesting to see if he can back-up his impressive performance last time out.
Stable-mate of Liddard Jimmy Sains is also on the card, defending his English middleweight title against Derrick Osaze.
Georgio Visioli will defend his English lightweight title against Levi Giles.
Matchroom Boxing prospects Adam Maca, Connor Mitchell, Taylor Bevan and Leli Buttigieg all feature on the card as well.
