Boxer defender from West Ham makes a drastic career step: From auto glass installation to title fight.

Achievements of George Liddard in boxing

According to The Sun: George Liddard aims to be successful in the middleweight division after switching from auto glass installation to boxing. He draws inspiration from his love for the West Ham team and has already won four national titles and medals at international level.

In 2022, Liddard turned down the opportunity to join the British Olympic team to turn professional under Eddie Hearn. He made this decision after a brief career break due to the COVID-19 pandemic, during which he worked at an auto glass repair company.

He shared his thoughts on the Hammers website:

“I was part of the England team, but Covid-19 brought a lot of uncertainty into my life. During that time, I worked with my father in an auto glass repair company.”

Shortly after, Liddard returned to the ring: He received an invitation for sparring with John Ryder and began training at the Matchroom Gym.

Future plans

Liddard currently has a record of 12-0 and will fight on Friday at York Hall in the biggest fight of his career – against Kieron Conway for the middleweight title.

Liddard is confident of his victory:

“I wouldn’t participate in this fight if I wasn’t confident of winning. It’s a great opportunity for me. I have everything at stake: I could win it all.”

He added:

“I have no Plan B, boxing is my everything. I truly believe that I can achieve great success in the sport.”

Liddard dresses in the symbolic colors of his team as he enters the ring and actively supports West Ham during matches.

In conclusion, he noted:

“I really would have liked to be in the final of the Conference League, but at that time I was fighting. I thought about the team’s victory while watching the final at the hotel.”

George Liddard is not only showing sports performances but also a deep connection to his team and the game he loves. His boxing career is just beginning, and the upcoming fight promises to be a decisive moment in his life. The challenges ahead could be a step to new heights in professional boxing.
