Ishmael Davis vs. Troy Williamson Off… And On Again
At first it was on, then it was off but now it has been confirmed that tonight’s fight between Ishmael Davis and Troy Williamson will go ahead. Early this morning it looked like the fight had been cancelled after Williamson missed weight by a massive 4.2lbs but - after a fraught 24 hours - the pair will still meet on the undercard of the super lightweight showdown between British 140lb champion, Dalton Smith, and three-time world title challenger Jose Zepeda. The fight was originally scheduled as a final eliminator for the British super welterweight title but was thrown into doubt when Williamson weighed in at 158.2lbs at yesterday’s weigh in.

Barney-Smith, who recently turned 20, is aiming at becoming Britain’s youngest fully recognized world champion – which would put him in some truly elite company. The bantamweight world-title picture was in a state of flux when a 19-year-old Terry Baldock won a version of it back in 1927. More recently, “Prince” Naseem Hamed was just 21 when he put on a clinic to stop Steve Robinson and win a featherweight belt in 1995. Later, in 2009, Amir Khan became a world champion at 22 when he outpointed Andreas Kotelnik for a super lightweight title.
