He Sparred Beterbiev: The Next Ricky Hatton? | Billy Deniz | More Than A Match | EP.62

Manchester's Billy Deniz sits down with More Than A Match to tell his full story. A kid from Droylsden whose mum was told he'd end up in jail if she didn't get him into something. He picked kickboxing aged 6, smashed everyone in his weight class by 16, then made the brave call to switch to boxing and chase a British title.This year alone he's sparred Artur Beterbiev in Montreal, fought on the Co-op Live main card, and built a Manchester fanbase that sells out arenas without a major promoter behind him. The Ricky Hatton comparisons are starting to land for a reason.We get into all of it. The sacrifice, the financial reality, the family pressure, and what it actually feels like sharing a ring with one of the hardest men on the planet.
