Billy MORGAN, the former West Ham amateur title winner, is looking forward to his pro debut at York Hall on the undercard of Liam Walsh’s Commonwealth super-featherweight title challenge on Saturday night.
Morgan followed the West Ham club tradition, earning a host of amateur honours.
Capped 12 times for England, he captained his country on four occasions, is a two-time Junior ABA champion, Four-Nations gold medallist and won 55 of his 65 amateur bouts.
The 20-year-old earned praise from Mark Tibbs, who trains Morgan alongside father Jimmy: “Billy’s a top talent and people are going to be impressed when they see him fight.

“He’s still got a bit of learning to do and he’s not fully matured yet physically.
“But give him a few learning fights and he is definitely one to watch.”
