| George Liddard and Dario Morello tipped the scales today and faced-off for a final time ahead of their EBU European Middleweight Title showdown on Saturday night – live worldwide on the Global Home of Boxing, DAZN. The ‘Billericay Bomber’ takes on the Italian just a stone’s throw from his beloved West Ham United Football Club at London’s Copper Box Arena and is confident of delivering a huge home win this weekend. Liddard remains fully confident he will be victorious in front of his home faithful, stating he will triumph in style on Saturday night. Speaking to SJA Award winning broadcaster Jamie Ward, Liddard said: “Dario [Morello] says he’s ready to get in with a lion. Well, I’m like three lions put together. He’s going to find out the hard way. “Nobody is more motivated than me. I will do everything necessary and go to every depth to get the win. I’m going to do it in style tomorrow night – just watch.” Morello insists he will ruin Liddard’s hopes of becoming European Champion, predicting he will outclass the Essex fighter over the 12-round distance. Speaking at the Weigh-In, the Italian said: “I don’t care about George Liddard. I will win on points.” Liddard’s stablemate Jimmy Sains, meanwhile, is looking ahead to his Commonwealth Midldleweight Title fight as he takes on Newark’s Tom Cowling. East End native Leli Buttigieg bids to win the English Middleweight belt when he faces PA Gordon. Tiah Mai Ayton celebrates her 20th birthday today and she is hoping for a delayed present on Saturday when she hopes to land her first major title as the Bristolian challenges Ellie Hellewell for the Commonwealth Featherweight Championship. And fellow young guns Louie Ward, Ioan Croft, Harley Burrows and Connor Mitchell are all out to extend their respective unbeaten starts in the pro game too.
