Conah Walker: “It’s been a journey. It’s been a rollercoaster from start to end. In only my fourth fight, I fought an undefeated fighter. Then I fought another undefeated fighter in my fifth fight. It’s just the way I’ve done things. I don’t like to take the easy route and there were easier options on the table for this. I wanted Sam. I was asking for him last year. Not because I’ve got anything against Sam [Eggington]. I think he’s a great fighter and we get on well outside the ring but business is business.”
Sam Eggington: “I’ve had a lot of fights. I’ve won a lot of belts. I love my job and my motivation is to keep the job I love. The more you lose, you’re going to have to pack it in. So, the fact is I need to carry on winning to keep doing the job I love doing. I get up and I love what I do. It gives me the freedom with my family and stuff like that. So that’s why it is my motivation. I always think the runners in the boxing world is a hard night – but the people who want to come and have a go is meat and drink. I love that stuff and I know Conah is very much the same.”
