Troy Williamson v Josh Kelly: Trainer Adam Booth says British light-middleweight title fight 'best match-up of the year'

Adam Booth said that the fight between Troy and Josh was a good one to enjoy.

The British light-middleweight title is up for grabs on Friday.

Booth thinks there's been a better match-up this year in British boxing.

One of the best match-ups I've been involved with.

Kelly has been coached by Booth since he became a professional.

Kelly, an Olympian at Rio 2016, has rebuilt his career since he lost to Russian David Avanesyan in 2021.

He is20-0 in 20 fights, with 19 wins and one draw, and believes his opponent is not ready to steal his title.

He doesn't have heart, I think it's bred in people.

We're going to see on Friday if Josh has got it because I'm going to take him to deep waters.

An intense final face-off took place at the weigh-ins after a fiery media conference in which Williamson and Kelly sparred.

Booth insists his fighter is under no illusions what the big-punching champion can do, despite Kelly's opinion that he would be silly to try and outbox him.

"Troy is an excellent amateur and has proven what he can do," Booth said.

We know what Troy is.

People haven't seen what Josh Kelly is yet.
