Liam Davies and Jason Cunningham are set to clash in a highly anticipated bout at the Telford International Centre on July 29th. The fight, which will be broadcast live on TNT Sports (formerly BT Sport), will feature four major titles on the line.
Davies (13-0, 5 KOs), the undefeated British, WBC International, and European champion, will face Cunningham (32-7, 7), the former Euro-king and current WBO International champion, in an all-British showdown. The event promises to be a thrilling encounter in the hometown of the reigning three-belt holder.
Confident in his abilities, Davies, 27, expressed his belief in securing another significant victory. Despite facing doubters, he is determined to prove himself with each fight, aiming for a shot at a world title. Davies also addressed a recent social media exchange with Cunningham, emphasizing the intention to keep fans engaged and mentioning their past sparring session, which Cunningham denies.
In contrast, 33-year-old Cunningham, known as ‘The Iceman,’ sees the fight as an opportunity to assert his position as one of the top super bantamweights. Excited and eager to prove a point, he looks forward to the challenge and the chance to claim four belts. While skeptical about the sparring story, Cunningham is ready to engage in some lighthearted banter, acknowledging Davies’ tendency to be easily provoked.
The card will also feature additional exciting matches, including Northampton’s Eithan James (10-0) fighting for his first professional title and highly regarded cruiserweight prospect Oronzo Birardi (6-0, 5) from Mainz, Germany, making his UK platform debut. Undefeated Midlands Area welterweight champion Owen Cooper (8-0, 2) from Worcester will be in action, alongside Telford’s super lightweight Macaulay Owen (5-0, 1), Batley’s super lightweight Amaar Akbar (3-0), and London heavyweight Boma Brown (1-0).
Promoter Frank Warren anticipates an entertaining build-up, noting the developing tension between Davies and Cunningham. While acknowledging the closeness of the fight on paper, he emphasizes that the true outcome will only be determined in the ring. With Davies eyeing a world title challenge and Cunningham seeking to reclaim lost titles, the stage is set for an exciting showdown.
