Liam Davies has a way with words. “I’m quite good at saying things at certain times. I remember the night I fought Jason Cunningham. I went out with my brother to watch Owen Cooper. George [Warren, from Queensberry Promotions] came out and sat down next to me,” Davies remembered. “He was saying, ‘Big one tonight, are you ready?’ I said, ‘Never mind tonight. After tonight when I do him I want big money and I want this and I want that.’ He was saying that I had a big one in an hour. I told him to trust me.
