A MEETING between Kid Galahad and Kiko Martínez would have been a tantalising prospect had it taken place between 2011 and 2014, but, in truth, won’t garner anywhere the same level of interest when the pair finally get together this Saturday (November 13) in Sheffield.
The fight, this 2021 version of it, is being sold as a ‘world title’ fight (with Galahad’s IBF featherweight belt on the line), yet one can’t ignore the irony that back when the fight would have mattered, and back when it would have been far more a European champion at super-bantamweight and Galahad was on the rise in the same division.
