Liam Davies: Best is yet to come
Liam Davies is ready to make the most of his prime boxing years as he insists there is still so much to come.
The Telford fighter is the headline act at Birmingham's Resorts World Arena on Saturday night as he finally faces off with rival Shabaz Masoud with his super bantamweight IBO title on the line.
Donnington's Davies, 28, heads into the live TV contest undefeated from his 16 professional scraps, as does his Stoke-based opponent Masoud, from 13 outings.
Davies was last in action when he claimed the strap in March by making mincemeat of Mexican Erik Robles Ayala in two rounds at the same venue and his long-awaited clash with Masoud has been some time coming after July's initial date was postponed due to Davies picking up a virus.
Davies doubled down on the commitment he has shown to blossom into his pro career and knows a life in boxing does not last forever, so is fiercely determined and fired-up to make the most of it as he heads into his peak.
"All the fights are massive, that's down to the people that get behind me and the position I've put myself in," Davies told the Shropshire Star. "They are all important to me. Everyone I fight is just a name – I've got to do a number on them because I've still got big dreams and plenty more to do.
"I don't even feel like I'm getting going, I'm coming into my prime years, the experience is there now."
