TOP fighter Junior Witter has backed Kid Galahad to come out on top in his British title showdown with Jazza Dickens.

The former WBC world light welterweight champion, Witter, who trains alongside Galahad at Winconak’s Ingle Gym, predicts fireworks when the pair clash at Magna on September 14.

The bout will be screened live on Channel 5 from 8pm.

“There’s definitely going to be fireworks, Barry can punch hard, so can Jazza and they’re both coming to land the big shots,” said Witter.

“There’s no doubt about it, there’s going to be some real excitement in that fight.”

Galahad, 23, is the unbeaten WBC International super bantamweight champion and is already drawing comparisons to former Ingle fighter Naseem Hamed. But Witter warns he cannot afford to overlook  Dicken, the undefeated English champion.

“It’s not an easy fight, it’s not a foregone conclusion – Jazza will be calm and confident, he knows he’s the underdog and he’s coming to win,” added Witter.
