Injury stops Nigeria's Linus Udofia from fight against Kieran Conway
Nigeria's Linus Udofia will not fight Kieran Conway because of injury.
Linus Udofia vs Kieron Conway
Conway will be fighting for the first time since mid-February when he outclassed Jorge Silva at the Nottingham Arena to win on points.
)
Conway's ongoing minor health issues caused the match against Udofia to be postponed a few times from its intended May date.
Conway is prepared to return to the ring and make a huge statement at the Sheffield Arena now that his injury concerns are behind him.
Though Udofia, who is from Luton, has a great professional record of 18 victories and one defeat in 19 fights, the defeat came at the hands of Denzel Bentley in a British title matchup in May 2022. It will be a challenging night for the Northampton man.
)
Conway, who is three years younger than Udofia and is 27 years old, also has a strong resume, having won 19 and drawn one of his 23 fights.
Linus Udofia set for decision victory against Kieron Conway
The Northampton man has actually lost two of his last five fights, but both of those defeats occurred in the United States, thus Conway, known by the title "Too Class," will have to live up to that nickname on Saturday night.
)
Conway first lost his WBA Inter-Continental Super Welterweight championship on points to French Olympian Souleymane Cissokho in May 2021, and then he was beaten out by American Austin Williams in Last Vegas in September 2022.
Conway has defeated James Metcalf, the current IBO World Super Welterweight champion, in between those narrow losses.
Conway is a dangerous middleweight, but Udofia must be the favorite to win the vacant Intercontinental title because of his remarkable ring record, which includes a contentious SD loss to Denzel Bentley.
)
Kieron Conway and Linus Udofia square off in a decisive middleweight bout on the Wood vs. Warrington undercard, competing for the British Middleweight Title.
The leading sports betting apps have Udofia slightly favored over Conway in this exciting 160-pound battle, but it will be tight.
The fight is predicted to end in a decision because that is the most likely result.
Both of these competitors don't throw a lot of punches, and after 12 competitive rounds, the judges seemed to favor the more classy boxer.
)
Both fighters have participated in some genuine 50/50 fights over the course of their careers, and neither is unbeaten.
Conway has more fights under her belt, but Udofia may be a more well-rounded fighter overall.
One can envision this bout taking the spotlight and lasting the entire 36 minutes, with either Udofia or Conway winning.
