He faces Isaac Taylor, the brother of his former opponent Anthony who he shared four exhibition rounds with in 2022. Fincham won his last fight in Dubai in April against influencer Ahmed Mousa and now has the likes of Fury and KSI in his sights. He told SunSport: “They were struggling to find me an opponent at first but then Anthony actually messaged me himself asking, ‘Would you fight my brother?’READ MORE IN BOXING”I said, ‘Yeah, course. No problem.’ I want to leave a mark on this type of boxing because I want to eventually fight Tommy Fury.”I could easily fight KSI, easily.

His excuse is, ‘They’re not bringing money to the table.'”Well, they are. It’s definitely a fight I’d like, have a couple in between and then do that.”Fincham dropped a sensational THREE STONE before his boxing return earlier in the year. It paved the way for the familiar feeling of victory in the ring – but one he had not tasted since his teenager amateur boxing years. Fincham, 32, said: “It felt amazing. I haven’t felt like that in years, the last fight I won was back in the amateurs and obviously I boxed Anthony Taylor in between that.”It was just an amazing feeling. It was a nice, familiar feeling like, ‘Ah this is what it used to f***ing fell like.'”I proved myself right, I wasn’t supposed to fight until this card or even afterwards around September time but I thought, ‘F*** it, I’ll just fight now.'”I took that fight on six-weeks notice and came down from 104 kilos.
