George Liddard is determined to establish himself among Britain's top young boxers after claiming the British and Commonwealth middleweight titles at age 23. The 23-year-old stopped Kieron Conway in his last fight, proving his knockout power and ambition. While contemporaries like Moses Itauma and Adam Azim have grabbed headlines, Liddard believes his experience sets him apart.

With a perfect 13-0 record, Liddard faces veteran Tyler Denny on Saturday at the Copper Box Arena. The fight represents a crucial step up as Denny is a former European champion. Liddard sees victory as validation of his place among Britain's elite middleweights. He's already overcome several dangerous opponents who were expected to test him.

Looking ahead, Liddard has set his sights on a world title within 18 months. He believes wins over established fighters like Denny will push him toward title eliminators. The Essex boxer remains confident regardless of opponent, saying he'll 'find a way' to win. For Liddard, each fight brings him closer to his dream of becoming a world champion.
