Felix Cash will fight Liam O'Hare at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday [Getty Images] Former British and Commonwealth middleweight champion Felix Cash has said that he wants "revenge" over Tyler Denny who beat him in 2024 to win the EBU European middleweight title. Their contest two years ago was halted via a doctor stoppage in the fifth round after Cash picked up a cut caused by an accidental head clash. Denny won the bout through his work in the early rounds and then fought at Wembley Stadium where he was beaten by Hamzah Sheeraz.
Saturday will be Cash's return to action after that first career loss. He will fight Liam O'Hare on the undercard of Tyson Fury's bout with Arslanbek Makhmudov at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. "I'd love to get my revenge with Denny," Cash told BBC Sport.
"We'll get this fight out of the way first but my fight with Denny got stopped on a cut so there's a bit of unfinished business there. "I've got Liam in my way on Saturday and I'll get him dealt with and we'll see what comes next. " 'A big opportunity' Since his loss, Cash has relocated to Southampton and linked up with trainer Jacob MacMillan who works with current British and Commonwealth light-heavyweight champion Lewis Edmondson.
His career-best win came in 2021 when he knocked out Denzel Bentley at York Hall to pick up the Lonsdale belt. O'Hare comes into the fight with two career defeats, one of those coming in his most recent fight when he lost by TKO to Taz Nadeem. "I was buzzing when I got the news that I was going to be on this card," Cash added.
