Robbie Davies Jr vs Lipinets Fight preview
The 34-year-old Liverpudlian fights Sergey Lipinets, the former super-lightweight champion of the IBF, on May 8 at Plant City, Florida’s ProBox TV Events Centre. An 11-year career could come to an end if Davies Jr. loses.
The main event, which is set for ten rounds, will feature a catchweight battle between Davies Jr., 23-4 (15) and Lipinets, 17-3-1 (13).
“My goal is to participate in legitimate fights,” Robbie Davies Jr. stated to Boxing News.
“He [Lipinets] is the most decent person you will ever meet. The victor continues, and the loser, well, I would probably call it a day if I didn’t win. However, I do not intend to lose.
Popular Manc Anthony Crolla, who has been training the former British and European 140-pound champion for the past few months, is going to America with the Scouser.
Although Shane McGuigan was previously in the corner, Davies Jr. would prefer to be nearer to his small family rather than travel a longer distance to train in London. Over a year will pass between Davies Jr.’s next fight and his return to the ring. He lost to Venezuela’s Gabriel Gollaz in February 2021, but he bounced back with three victories before playing Darragh Foley in Liverpool thirteen months later.
But the Englishman’s leg broke up in the third round, ending any dreams of a home victory. This came about as a result of Foley dropping him during the previous session due to a severe leg and ankle injury. He was eventually sent to Aintree Hospital and had surgery there.
