My Pick:
Abdul Barry Awad, also known as Galahad, is 32 years old and was born in Doha, Qatar. He currently resides in Sheffield, England. His opponent, Josh Warrington, is the current IBF Featherweight Champion, and he enters the bout with a record of 28-2 and 17 knockouts. Even though he isn’t widely recognized as such, his current knockout ratio of 56.7% attests to his respectable power.

While Galahad was initially suspended for two years in May 2015 due to a positive drug test, his punishment was eventually reduced to 18 months. In addition to the WBC International, British, European, and Commonwealth Super Bantamweight Titles, he also holds the IBF Youth Super Bantamweight Crown and the IBF Inter-Continental Featherweight Title, all of which he earned after turning professional.

His most notable victories have been against Jason Booth, Adeilson Dos Santos, and Dickens (twice), Toka Khan Clary, Irving Berry, Jose Cayetano, and Dickens. Galahad has an impressive reach of 67 inches and a height of slightly over 5 feet, 6 inches. Since he made the transition to professional boxing in 2009, he has racked up 188 rounds of action. Only three of his last six fights have gone the distance, but he’s knocked out his prior six.

Hughes, a 32-year-old southpaw, made his professional debut in 2010 and has since boxed 219 rounds, accumulating a record of 25-5-2 with only 5 knockouts. We don’t know how he stacks up against Galahad due to the lack of information on his height and reach. However, his current knockout ratio of 15.6% indicates that he has very little power.

Since becoming a pro, Hughes has won the titles of British lightweight champion, WBC international lightweight champion, and British central area super featherweight champion. He defeated Jovanni Straffon via a 12-round unanimous decision to win the IBO title in October 2021 and successfully defended it in his most recent bout against Walsh.

Hughes has been defeated by Sam Bowen (in eight rounds) and Martin Ward (in five) and has lost to Scott Cardle (on points) and Liam Walsh (by knockout). The 2019 defeat against Walsh was for the title of WBO European Lightweight Champion. He fought Martin Ward for 10 rounds and Ronnie Clark for 4, both ending in a draw.

Maxi Hughes vs. Kid Galahad  Prediction:
Hughes is a brash boxer who enjoys letting his hands go, yet he must deliver his punches in clusters to compensate for his lack of power. Galahad looked great in his rematch over Jazza Dickens last year, but he struggled to make weight for his fight against Martinez, and Martinez knocked him out spectacularly.

Galahad’s quickness, aggression, and energy should be more than enough to finish off Hughes, but it’s impossible to know how a fighter will respond in his next bout after taking a knockout. The good news for Galahad is that Hughes doesn’t hold much sway. Hughes is a fantastic boxer on the home scene, but Galahad is still a contender at the international level. I think Galahad can get back on track with a victory here.

At this juncture in their respective careers, Galahad easily outshines Hughes.
