Liam Smith vs Jessie Vargas time: When are ring walks in UK and US for fight this weekend?

Liam Smith has suffered three defeats in his professional career

Saturday night will be a momentous night in New York as Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano face off in the main event at Madison Square Garden.

They will deservedly grab the headlines, but there is also a great fight on the undercard as Liverpudlian Liam Smith takes on Jessie Vargas.

Smith has suffered three defeats in his professional career but remains a high-level operator who is in the mix for a world title shot at 154lbs.

But those aspirations will disappear if he loses to Vargas – a boxer who has fought against some world-class opponents of his own.

Here’s all you need to know.
