We’ve got the Will to succeed

WHEN Liam Williams takes to the ring tonight on BT Sport, it will represent the culmination of over six months of hard work by myself and my team.

Bringing boxing back after lockdown was a difficult job but on the eve of our eighth show since returning I am proud that the sport is finding its way back to its feet.

With the second wave of Covid- 19 seemingly upon us, it seems any prospect of fans returning to arenas has faded and, as such, this week we decided to run the biggest fight on the British boxing calendar behind closed doors and, crucially, not on Pay Per View.

Daniel Dubois and Joe Joyce are the two hottest prospects in heavyweight boxing and when they meet on November 28, the eyes of the world will be watching.

This is the biggest domestic battle in years and with the UK economy stuttering and morale in danger of flagging, BT Sport and I hatched a plan to give a gift to

UK fans.

Originally scheduled for BT

Sport Box Office, the fight will now be provided as part of your regular subscription.

The extra exposure these guys will now get will be a boost to their profile, which will come in handy as the winner will soon be scrapping for world titles.

Before that, though, all eyes turn to BT Sport 1 tonight when middleweight Williams defends his British title against Andrew Robinson.

I think the Welshman will come through unscathed and ready for a world title fight with WBO champion Demetrius Andrade.

No fighter better embodies the spirit of the British public than Williams, so I could think of no one more suited to headline tonight.

Williams v Robinson – tonight, 7pm, BT Sport 1

SPIRITED: Liam is a fine example
