Results: George Liddard makes British boxing history with stunning stoppage of Kieron Conway

By Tim Smith - October 19, 2025 - 9 comments

York Hall was rocking like an old-school East End knees-up as 23-year-old George Liddard tore through Kieron Conway to become the youngest-ever British & Commonwealth middleweight champion. The Billericay Bomber produced a coming-of-age performance, breaking down Conway over ten bruising rounds before the Northampton man’s corner finally threw in the towel with their fighter nursing what looked like a busted hand.

It was a ruthless, emotional finish — and the kind of night York Hall lives for. Liddard had already decked Conway in the ninth, closing the show like a man who never doubted what was coming.

The Billericay Bomber delivers — and makes British boxing history

When it was done, the new champ looked half in disbelief, half ready to sprint through the Billericay High Street with both belts.

“It means so much,” said Liddard. “Nobody sees the sacrifice behind closed doors. I felt like I was coasting through the rounds. Billericay’s first-ever British champion — I’ll be walking down the High Street with my belts! I’m No. 1 baby.”

His stablemate Jimmy Sains had already set the tone earlier, stopping Troy Coleman to grab the English Middleweight and Commonwealth Silver titles — giving Tony Sims’ gym a clean sweep of domestic gold for the night.

Matchroom boss Eddie Hearn was just as hyped, telling DAZN:

“Wow, what a performance. At 23, to become the youngest ever British & Commonwealth champion — that’s special. We’ve got something serious on our hands.”

Young guns steal the show across the York Hall undercard

Shannon Ryan claimed the IBF Inter-Continental Super Flyweight title via technical decision after a nasty head clash with Chloe Watson halted things in round four. Teenage standout Tiah-Mai Ayton impressed again, stopping Laura Belen Valdebenito in four.

Elsewhere, Taylor Bevan, Leli Buttigieg, Adam Maca, and Jermaine Dhliwayo all chalked up victories, keeping the night all smiles for the London crowd.
Ayton, especially, looked razor-sharp — quick hands, mean intent, and that “remember my name” energy.

Ringside verdict

Liddard didn’t just win a belt — he kicked the door open on a new British middleweight era. Conway came to fight but was out-fired and out-timed. York Hall turned into a proper madhouse, the kind of old-school noise that makes you fall back in love with this sport.
The kid’s got something. He’s not just Britain’s youngest champion — he’s suddenly one of its most exciting ones.

  1. ‘Proper madhouse’ my foot – crowd noise don’t win belts, skill does, and I still think we need to see more from George before calling him anything special 🚫🥊

  2. ‘Youngest ever champion’ sounds cool until you realise it just mean he got there before others had time to try properly. Age ain’t everything if the talent not proven against top fighters yet.

  3. Conway weren’t even fighting smart if you ask me. He was just letting them punches land all night long like he didn’t train defense at all 😒 so of course Liddard looked good.

  4. People forget York Hall ain’t a big stage compared to Vegas or something. All this hype for a fight in East London like he just won world title or something 😂.

    • Yeah mate exactly! If he wants to be called best in Britain then he gotta fight on real cards and stop acting like York Hall is Wembley or something 😂

  5. Everyone acting like this kid is some legend already but he only been pro for what, a few years? One good night at York Hall don’t mean he top level yet, let’s be real.

  6. I don’t get why people keep saying Liddard is the next big thing. He only beat Conway cause Conway got hurt. If the man didn’t bust his hand, maybe it would of ended different. 🤷‍♂️

    • That’s what I’m saying! A busted hand don’t make you a champ, it just means the other guy couldn’t fight back no more. Liddard still gotta prove hisself against real healthy fighters.

    • Nah you both wrong. You gotta be tough to finish someone even if they hurt. Liddard went ten hard rounds and still smashed him up. That ain’t luck, that’s power 💪
