Kyle Williams calling on experience
Kyle Williams is feeling good ahead of the biggest fight of his professional career.
The Wolverhampton boxer will battle Nottingham’s Jordan Turner for the vacant Midlands Area Bantamweight Title over 10 rounds on BCB Promotions’ Now Or Never show at the Genting Arena on Saturday.
But a big title fight is not something new to the 26-year-old, who became a kickboxing world champion four years ago before switching combat sports.
“With each fight I have got better and the future looks bright,” he said. “I’ve been 10 and 12 rounds previously in kickboxing, I feel I only get better when rounds go by. I’m excited to have more rounds.
“I have had great sparring sessions to prepare myself for the 10 rounds ahead. I have been sparring very high-quality opponents.
“I train very hard for every fight leaving no stone unturned.
“I would say the intensity and duration of weeks leading to the fight has increased.
“Knowing I have that experience under my belt can only hold me in good stead.
“I’m very excited, this is a big step forward for my boxing career and hopefully these types of nights will become more regular.
“Fighting on a stage of this magnitude is a fantastic feeling.”
Williams has won all of his seven fights to date and is looking forward to showcasing his skills at the Genting Arena.
“I have been going to events at this arena for years and have always had dreams of one day fighting in front of a big crowd,” he added. “I am so excited.”
Two IBO Continental fights top the bill as Ludlow’s Craig Morris defends his welterweight title against Leek’s Andy Keates while Birmingham’s Andrew Robinson battles Brighton’s Nicky Jenman for the vacant middleweight crown.
