Boxer Faces Setbacks, Seeks 2026 Fortune

Shropshire boxer Liam Davies is anticipating a turn of fortune in 2026, following a difficult period marked by a postponed fight and family health struggles. His bout against Zak Miller, originally set for January 24th, has been rescheduled to March 28th after the main event fighter sustained an injury. This postponement came after Davies had already invested heavily in preparation.

Davies, who hails from Donnington, has been candid about the personal toll of recent months, including his step-mother's ongoing breast cancer treatment. He described last year as a 'rollercoaster' and found solace in training, viewing it as an escape from life's pressures. The financial strain of missed paydays after extensive preparation also weighs on him, impacting his ability to manage his mortgage.

Looking ahead, Davies is determined to use the rescheduled fight as a springboard towards his ultimate goal of becoming a world champion, aiming for top 15 rankings with both the WBA and IBF belts. He believes a victory will fuel his hunger and bring him closer to achieving his championship aspirations in the near future.
