He talks in a mumbled rush, with the urgency and gratitude of a sick man anxious to live every minute of every day. And Freddie Roach sees nothing but life-affirming, good times ahead.

If you trust Roach’s judgment – and few do not – it will be over by the ninth or 10th round, with his young Bolton boxer in centre ring, arms raised and ready to take the next stage of his career across the Atlantic, for bigger nights, more glory and the sort of acceptance, perhaps, that he has not received in the country of his birth.
