Love Island winner Liam Reardon targets boxing debut on YouTube star KSI's card

Liam Reardon wants to make his boxing debut on KSI's Misfits card in May.

The Welsh star won Love Island alongside ex-partner Millie Court in 2021 and burst to fame through reality TV where he also featured on Channel Four series Celebs Go Dating. Now Reardon has announced he is training with the intention of making his boxing bow, having attempted to enter the amateur ranks prior to the coronavirus pandemic.

Reardon initially began training with the intention of eventually breaking into the traditional boxing ranks, but after growing his profile massively following his stint on TV he may now be in a position to fast track to bigger fights. The 23-year-old is training at Matchroom Boxing gym under coach Kevin Mitchell alongside fellow countryman John Ryder and rising star Conor Benn.
