Kieron Conway Issues Chilling Warning

To Rival George Liddard!

By: Matchroom Boxing

(September 25th) Kieron Conway has warned George Liddard that he will ‘knock him out’ when they clash at a sold out York Hall on October 17 – broadcast live, worldwide on DAZN.

Conway downplayed his rival’s chances of prising his British & Commonwealth Middleweight titles in the capital during a fiery head-to-head in Episode 3 of Matchroom Boxing’s new Flash Knockdown Podcast.

Liddard, however, believes he’s got nothing to lose and is confident he will upset the odds at the iconic London venue to celebrate his biggest scalp to date.

The standout quotes from their heated verbal exchange can be seen below – along with the Podcast in full, free to watch now on Matchroom Boxing’s official YouTube channel.

Also on the show, hosted by Jamie Ward and Scott Hammerton, Jaron ‘Boots’ Ennis reveals he has set his sights on landing a World Title at 154lbs starting on October 11 – but Boots’ upcoming opponent, Uisma Lima, believes a shock victory in Philadelphia will put some respect on his name.

KIERON CONWAY:

"In my opinion it’s a step too soon for him. I’m wondering where the confidence is coming from. Is it manufactured? I don’t see why it would be real.

"His performances have been good but I’m not like these guys who have been falling over.

"I’ve got a little one now. Every day, every session, every moment is all for her now and in the future. Someone coming and telling me they want to take that away pisses me off. That’s my motivation going into everything.

"I’m better in every department. If it gets rough, which it will, I’ve got the bigger heart and reason why.

"I knock George out. There’s no way a young lad is going to walk around saying he’s going to knock me out, I’m not going to let that happen. He’s over confident."

GEORGE LIDDARD:

"I cannot wait, this is another step-up which I’m ready for.

"I wouldn’t be in this fight if I wholeheartedly believe I can win this fight. I didn’t need to take this fight, I want to take this fight. It’s a big opportunity for me, I’m next in line to fight for these titles.

"When I beat Sutton I said I wanted Conway next. Matchroom have delivered on my ask.

"There is no Plan B for me, boxing is it for me. I genuinely believe I can go on and achieve big things in the sport. This is a stepping stone to those moments.

"He’s in good form, stopping three out of his last four which is good because I don’t want any excuses. He’s got everything to lose in this fight and I’ve got everything to gain.

"I genuinely think I’ll knock Conway out, this fight changes everything for me."

About Matchroom Boxing

After the success of snooker in the 1980s, Matchroom Sport moved into boxing with two small hall shows followed by Frank Bruno v Joe Bugner at Tottenham Hotspur’s ground – the biggest boxing event of 1987. That launched the company into the boxing big-time, a position it has maintained ever since.

Through the 1990s Matchroom Sport’s boxing roster featured many of the biggest names in the sport including Lennox Lewis, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank, Steve Collins and Naseem Hamed, all in world title fights and it continues to work with some of the biggest names in UK boxing including Audley Harrison, the 2000 Olympic Super-Heavyweight gold medalist.

Over the years, Matchroom Sport has built up long-standing relationships with broadcasters around the world and with the advent of the Prizefighter phenomenon, the company’s boxing division has never been in a stronger position.

From fantastic six round scraps between the sport’s journeymen, up to multi-million-dollar World Championship contests featuring the above fighters, the Pro Box series has it all. Each show is packed with the very best in boxing action in a series that encompasses almost 25 years of Matchroom Sport’s commitment to bringing the highest quality to the global television market.
