Cash eyes Denny 'revenge' after O'Hare fight

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."

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.

"I've been in the gym training and grafting away for about six months now and I believe it's all going to pay off on Saturday.

"Liam's going to be game and come for me as it's a big opportunity for us both. I'll expect him to try his best but there's levels in boxing and my plan is to punch a hole straight through him."

In late 2025 Cash opened up about struggles in his personal life that led to him spending a prolonged time away from boxing.

The 33-year-old admitted that becoming a father again had helped him tackle long-term struggles with alcohol and substance abuse.

With more time banked in training camp, the Wokingham man said that he was enjoying being back in the sport.

"I'm in a very good place at the moment," he said.

"We're on a big show and I'm absolutely buzzing and my training's going really well, I'm looking forward to Saturday and putting on a show."
