George Liddard faces Dario Morello for European title in London

George Liddard, unbeaten at 14-0, faces Dario Morello, who has a 26-1 record, for the vacant European middleweight championship. The 24-year-old Briton is competing in his first European title contest against an Italian opponent with considerably more professional experience.

The fight is taking place at the Copper Box Arena in London’s Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park. The event is being promoted by Matchroom Boxing, with live results and updates following the main contest and the rest of the card.

Liddard’s perfect record has carried him into the biggest examination of his career so far. The middleweight is seeking to continue his rise by claiming the vacant championship in his first opportunity at European level.

Morello brings a longer record and has not lost since 2019. His 26-1 mark gives him the experience advantage over Liddard, who is entering a significant step up in opposition while still unbeaten.

The card also contains three other vacant-title fights. Jimmy Sains, Emmanuel Buttigieg and Tiah Mai Ayton are each aiming to win a championship and progress their own careers. The European middleweight belt, however, is the main prize in London, with its winner set to leave the arena as champion.
