Boxing returns to the M&S Bank Arena this Saturday night - with local fighter Robbie Davies Jr in determined mood.
Callum Smith was originally set to headline this card but recently pulled out due to injury, which paved the way for fellow Liverpool boxer Davies Jr to co-headline as he takes on Irishman Darragh Foley.
Foley is the second best super lightweight in Ireland according to boxrec, holding a respectable record of 21 wins, four losses and one draw.

Davies told Matchroom Boxing’s Media Channels ahead of the bout: “I will break him down and I will stop him”.
Other fights on this card include co-headliner Diego Pacheco who takes on Jack Cullen, heavyweight Johnny Fisher who takes on Alfonso Damiani and Liverpudlian Peter McGrail whose opponent is yet to be announced.
