Good move. I like it when young fighters travel a bit. If he's impressive then I'm sure the fans here will remember the name

Wait... Why is the CHAMPION traveling?

Surprised he is travelling. Good for him though as it's good experience.

Also, this is a Warren fighter, often his shows sell a lot less tickets than Hearn and far less TV viewers too.

If they're thinking they're coming to the UK and expecting a big event like they might see happening in the UK these days, then i can say it won't be the case at all.

Also, it's a good first defence. Walsh is no bum, he's pretty talented but i think Davis will have too much for him.

Better money usually is the case, plus Davis is not the sort of fighter that would leave things up to the judges

Might get a good purse though. I think Warren has some money to throw around at the moment

Im thinking because Liam Walsh was originally the mandatory to Pedraza.Somehow IBF allowed Pedraza to fight Davis.

Because he's a WORLD champion. I'm not surprised he's travelling. I'm more surprised he didn't take an easy soft touch at home first.

Valid points.

It's not often that you see a champion traveling. I respect it. I was just wondering.

Becoming more and more of a fan of the kid!

Easily beat everyone bar Lomachengo in his division which that'll still be a good fight due to Tank's power, hand speed, jab, and feints!

Should be a solid fight as Liam Walsh is pretty talented!
