Liam Smith comes into this weekend’s fight against Jessie Vargas with the knowledge that a defeat will end his hopes of another world title shot.

The Liverpudlian picked up a superb stoppage win over fellow Merseyside super-welterweight Anthony Fowler last time out.

It is a massive fight for the chief support of a blockbuster main event between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, so this night of action is not one you want to miss.
