Williamson vs Kelly Tops A Massive Night Of Boxing For The North-East Live On Channel 5
Darlington’s Troy Williamson (19-0-1, 14 KOs) defends his British Super Welterweight championship against Sunderland’s Josh Kelly (12-1-1, 7 KOs) in a massive North East collision that has captured the attention of fight fans all over the country live and free on Channel 5.
Williamson won the British title with a stoppage win in a fight-of-the-year contender against Ted Cheeseman last year. A fight that seems to have taken a lot out of him.
The unbeaten Darlington champion made his only defence against Mason Cartwright earlier this year in a close bout which saw Williamson get off the floor in round 2 to outpoint Cartwright on narrow margins.
In a second consecutive underwhelming performance, Williamson halted David Benitez (8-7) in the sixth round yesterday on his Channel 5 debut after five lacklustre rounds where Benitez was much more competitive than he should’ve been.
Kelly signed with Sauerland’s Wasserman after suffering his lone career defeat to European champion David Avanesyan earlier last year.
After an 18-month hiatus, Kelly scored a TKO win over Peter Kramer in four in June before returning one month later to decision Lucas Bastida over ten rounds in an uninspiring performance.
Williamson goes in as a favourite in this fight and many are surprised that Kelly has chosen to take this test when he could’ve gone another route and built some confidence again. However, after Williamson’s last couple of performances, you can’t blame Kelly for thinking he can win this fight.
