Before Betting

A massive night of action at Wembley was set to give Josh Kelly and Liam Smith the platform to settle their differences. However, Smith was forced to pull out of the bout on Monday, with Ishmael Davis stepping in at late notice to take the opportunity.

Coming in with less than a week to prepare is far from ideal for the 29-year-old, but Davis is confident of springing an upset in London on Saturday.

However, it is worth mentioning that Davis was set to be in action later this month, meaning that he was in full training ahead of a return to the ring.

The 29-year-old, nicknamed ‘The Black Panther’, boasts an excellent professional record, winning on all 13 appearances in the ring. His best success to date was achieved earlier this year after landing a unanimous decision win against Troy Williamson.

But, Kelly will remain the strong favorite in the betting this weekend, as he brings a proven record to the table.

The 30-year-old won the British light-middleweight title against Williamson in December 2022, before landing successive wins in 2023 against Gabriel Alberto Corzo and Placido Ramirez.

This will be a first big test in the career of Davis, as he steps into the ring against a proven title contender at European level.

His punching power will likely cause issues for the Pretty Boy, but the preference remains for Kelly to secure victory at Wembley with a points decision.
