The contest at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan will be Liam Walsh’s 11th fight<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n

Norfolk boxer Liam Walsh says he will enjoy the hostility of a partisan Wigan crowd in his Commonwealth super-featherweight defence bout on 19 March.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old will take on John Kays from Lancashire as he defends the title he took off Maxwell Awuku in October. <\/p>\n

Walsh told BBC Radio Norfolk: “When I first heard I was fighting away in Wigan I thought ‘I’m going to get booed and water thrown at me’. <\/p>\n

“But it’ll be a different environment, I’ve never been booed, it’ll be nice”. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He added: “It’ll add another feather to my cap, I’ll have covered some more ground and learnt something.”<\/p>\n

Walsh, from Cromer on the North Norfolk coast, is expecting to take around 200 fans to the Robin Park Arena. <\/p>\n

“I’m not sure I’ll get out-cheered,” he said. <\/p>\n

“I think a hundred of my local fans will out-cheer 500 of his, they’re so loud.” <\/p>\n

Walsh admitted he was not sure how Kays would approach the fight. <\/p>\n

“I had one DVD on him…on one of the fights he’s a clever neat boxer, and the other time he takes the centre of the ring and he’s aggressive,” he said. <\/p>\n

“If he comes out being aggressive, it’s going to be a cracking fight because I’m not giving any ground to him.” <\/p>\n
