Kieron ‘Too Class’ Conway (23-3-1, 7 KOs) defends his British and middleweight titles to undefeated challenger George Liddard (12-0, 7 KOs) on Friday, October 17, headlining a Matchroom Boxing event at the ‘Home of Boxing’, York Hall, Bethnal Green, live on DAZN.
29-year-old Conway earned his contract with Matchroom Boxing after taking champion Ted Cheeseman to a draw in their British super-welterweight title fight in 2019. One judge scored the contest 116-113 to Conway.
‘Too Class’ bounced back to beat the likes of Navid Mansouri and Macauley McGowan in 2020, but then a Texas showdown with Souleymane Cissokho saw him receive a second split decision defeat. That was on the Canelo Alvarez-Billy Joe Saunders undercard, and he supported Canelo again in 2022 in Las Vegas in the Mexican’s trilogy win over Gennady Golovkin, when Conway was beaten decisively – via UD – for the first time in his career by ‘Ammo’ Austin Williams.
The Northampton favourite won his Commonwealth crown against Ryan Kelly in 2024, narrowly edging the Brummie by split decision. Six months later, in May 2025, Conway forced Gerome Warburton’s corner to throw in the towel in the fourth round after a series of brutal body shots.
Now he defends his British and Commonwealth championships to the mandatory challenger, George Liddard. The 23-year-old Essex boy said he wanted to challenge for Southern Area and English titles first, but no one would take the fight, according to him. Instead, he won a British title eliminator decisively to earn his first title shot.
The rising star has been brought through the usual routes and is thriving at 12-0 right now. He begun his pro career in 2022 with four-rounders, then moving up to six, to eight, to 10. In his last two 10-round contests, he has defeated Ultimate BOXXER champion Derrick Osaze and Southern Area titlist Aaron Sutton.
The Billericay boxer is sharp, disciplined, with quick head movement and good feet. He likes to trade at mid-range where he can use his sharp reflexes, but he also gets dragged into a war at close range – willingly – like in his slugfest with Derrick Osaze. From that range he does get caught, inevitably, but his shot selection and strength is often superior to what’s coming back at him.
Four from his last six contests have ended via knockout. His last knockout win against Aaron Sutton was a masterclass, slipping the taller, rangier man’s shots with ease and knocking him down three times before the fifth-round finish.
It’s a matchup between skill and experience against youth and power.
I rate both boxers equally in terms of ability and skill, but the only reason I am edging towards Liddard is purely because he possesses more potent punch power than Conway.
They each have seven KOs on their records, but Liddard collected his in under half the fights than Conway. If they both stand and trade for 12 rounds, I think the stronger shots coming from the challenger will catch the judges’ eye when scoring each round, or it could equally hurt the champion and gradually sap his strength and stamina.
12 rounds is a long time in that ring, and I can imagine one of Liddard’s big hooks is going to land at some point in the fight to cause a reaction; plus, if they do decide to fight in a phone box, then that also diminishes the chances of this reaching the final bell.
It’s a 50-50 fight, but I have painstakingly picked my winner – Liddard. If asked to pick if this ends on points or via KO, then I can’t answer that one, I’m afraid, as I’m completely torn in two. Perhaps, I could tease that I can see Liddard scoring a knockdown during the fight, but winning on points.

Tim Rickson is the WhichBookie boxing analyst who joined the team midway through 2022 and will be providing boxing betting tips throughout the year for all of the big fights.
All of the boxing tips currently published on WhichBookie are completely free of charge. Remember to check back regularly and subscribe to our social media channels to be notified of when new free boxing tips are published.
Yes. All tips remain live here on WhichBookie. You can view all past boxing tips here on this page.
If you’d like to back any of the selections, we recommend a bookmaker to do so with. These are usually the bookies offering the best odds on the selection at the time of posting the tip but it may be worth checking other bookies in case the odds have changed. There may also be betting offers associated with the tip that are only available with specific bookmakers that are worth taking into consideration.
We never recommend an actual stake to use for each bet as this will vary between people depending on the size of their betting bank. Never bet more than you can afford to lose and always stick to your staking plan.
WhichBookie boxing analyst Tim Rickson will publish tips whenever he finds value in a bet. If there is a big fight coming up, it’s likely that he will cover it but generally, they’ll be posted whenever a good bet comes about.
Many of the big boxing matches are only available via Pay Per View. However, you may be able to find streams of some of the less-popular fights via the Bet365 Live Streaming service. Bet365 provides over 100,000 live streams of sporting events every year and is regarded as one of the best services for streaming sports online without charge.
There are several options when it comes to betting on boxing, and the more you know, the better your chances of success. We will now go into more detail about some of the different betting markets that you will find, and discuss a few potential strategies you could use.
As with most sports, the outright market is probably the simplest, because you’re just betting on who will win the fight. There are no other criteria to consider, other than the fact that with many of the best bookies for boxing, you can also bet on the draw. However, draws in boxing are very rare and not many people tend to back this outcome.
Bear in mind that in many fights, one boxer tends to be a heavy favourite and it’s usually quite easy to pick the winner. There don’t tend to be that many shock results. Therefore, the odds on the favourite are often very low, even if you use the bookie with the best odds as described earlier in the article.
If you’re happy betting at short odds, you can certainly get a good success rate simply by backing short price favourites in boxing. But many people prefer to look for bigger wins. So you may sometimes need to look at some of the other markets to get a better return on your bet.
This market lets you choose not only who will win the fight, but how they will win. Different methods of victory are usually grouped as follows:
So because there are more possible outcomes in this market, the odds are higher than just the outright win market.
The Round Betting market offers the opportunity to get the highest odds. Here you can bet on which fighter will win, and which round he/she will win in.
Options to bet on a fighter to win on points, or to bet on the draw, are both also included in this market. In a 12 round bout, that gives 27 different possible outcomes. Therefore, the odds on each one are naturally going to be much higher. Think of it as the equivalent of the correct score market in football betting.
So the round betting market offers the biggest potential wins when betting on boxing. But of course, it’s harder to predict the outcome. You do have the option to split your stake to cover more than one outcome though. So if you felt that a fighter would win within the first 3 rounds, you could split your stake to back him to win in round 1, round 2 and round 3. The odds would mean you’d get a good profit if any of those outcomes happened.
This is a simple market in which you decide whether the fight will last all 12 rounds or not. Therefore there are only two outcomes to bet on, Yes or No.
It’s possible to get a decent success rate when betting on this market. Check the stats and the history of each boxer and ask yourself the following:
The answers to these key questions should give you a good idea of whether the fight is likely to go the distance or not. There can still be surprises, but you’ll certainly win more bets than you lose.
This market allows you to bet on the total number of rounds the fight will last for. The advantage here is that you do not need to specify who will win, just how long it will last.
For example, let’s consider a market of Over/Under 3.5 Rounds. There are only two options to bet on, either Over 3.5 Rounds or Under 3.5 Rounds. Therefore, you would approach the market as follows:
You will find that similar markets are available for Over/under 4.5, Over/Under 5.5, Over/Under 6.5 etc.
As any professional punter will tell you, the key to making a profit is not knowing who will win every time. Because obviously, that is not possible. The real trick is making sure that when you do win, you get the best possible odds on your bet.
We studied the odds for outright bets on every professional boxing match over a period of three months. We wanted to find the best bookies for boxing odds over a prolonged period of time.
As you would expect, Betfair and Bet365 are better than most of the competition. But the results showed that Betfred have the highest odds overall and came out well in some of the other markets like round betting.
Betfred were consistently best or equal best odds on nearly every outright market we recorded. They blew some of the other online bookies away in terms of the value they offered on boxing, and their user ratings are good too. So if you don’t have an account with them yet, we would definitely recommend joining.
