LIAM DAVIES is set to face Kurt Walker in THIS WEEKEND’S co-main event in Nottingham.
Topping the bill sees the return of Leigh Wood, who faces Anthony Cacace – and fans are in for a treat with a great undercard leading up to the main event.
Liam Davies and Kurt Walker ahead of their fight to be mandatory challenger for the IBF featherweight title
After a tough split decision loss to Shabaz Masoud, which saw Davies lose the IBO Super-bantamweight title, he’s now made the decision to move up a weight class.
Before his last fight, the 29-year-old had won his last three fights by TKO.
He’ll be hoping to rediscover that form at featherweight.
Davies takes a tough test in 12-0 fighter Kurt Walker for the vacant IBF International featherweight belt.
Walker, 30, is coming off a majority decision victory against Leon Woodstock just two months ago in March.
In the main event, we see Leigh Wood return from his 18-month hiatus to take on Anthony Cacace.
Wood will make his long-awaited return to the ring in front of a hometown Nottingham crowd, after injury setbacks had stalled his career.
He fights Anthony ‘The Apache’ Cacace who will defend his IBO Super-featherweight title for the fourth time.
The 36-year-old had impressive victories against Joe Cordina and Josh Warrington in 2024 and will enter the fight as the heavy favourite.
