Jordan Gill says he found some of the predictions for his December fight with Michael Conlan as "laughable".
The29-year-old is aiming to make it two big away day wins in a row when he takes on Manchester's former World title challenger Zelfa Barrett in a massive super-featherweight showdown at the AO Arena this Saturday.Gill said: “Heading into the Conlan fight in December it was just laughable because everyone tipped him. I knew how good I am. I knew what I’m capable of. I knew that I had to upset people and knew I had to have something to prove.
Looking ahead to Saturday's fight against Barrett, Gill added: “I just like upsetting people and I think I get a kick out of people telling me that I can't win fights. Everyone expected me to lose the Conlan fight, and going in there and pulling it off – for me that’s exciting and that’s what boxing is all about. It’s all about the good fights and this is a really good fight. I’m ready to go to the well.
