LIVERPOOL super-lightweight Robbie Davies Jr plans to continue his ascent on the undercard of Chris Eubank Jr vs Arthur Abraham at Wembley Arena on Saturday (July 15).
He takes on 18-1 Pole Michal Syrowatka. โFrom what Iโve seen of him heโs a very high calibre opponent. Over in Poland heโs the bees knees in the 10st division. I canโtย say how Iโm going to approach the fight because I donโt know how he is. Iโve watched him in numerous different fights, some fights he comes flying out the blocks, some fights he comes out taking his time trying to pick punches. It depends on how he approaches the earlier rounds,โ Davies told Boxing News.
Robbie has been amassing knockout wins. โHeโs coming over here knowing that. Heโll be brave if he comes out of the blocks trying to fight with me but Iโm raring to go, canโt wait,โ the Liverpudlian continued. โIโm just keen to impress. I want everybody to recognise me and how much Iโm working with my team.
โItโs been great preparation. Iโve been working hard in the gym with my team.โ
Davies wants to press on towards world class.
โI always take one step at a time. I donโt like to look past an opponent. Win this one Iโm already ranked number four with the WBA. Number one and number two are fighting each other, possibly whoever loses out of them, I might take the number two spot, the number one might get a mandatory. Itโs all ifs and buts now, swings and roundabouts. I wouldnโt mind fighting the winner of Kiryl Relikh and Rances Bartelemy. Theyโre the number one and two, whether it be here or over in the States, it doesnโt bother me. Iโm confident of beating both of them,โ he said.
โThey are hard fights. But no harder than the fight Iโm taking on Saturday.โ
