Walsh, who makes the third defence of his British Featherweight strap against Marco McCullough on the undercard, Tweeted: "The #speed he leaves England when my brother exposes him!!" Davis, replied later that day, stating that he'll beat Ryan after he becomes the first man to defeat Liam, Tweeting: "You can get in there next after I whip ya brother's ass. Flat!"
