After all, it is not just about him tonight. On the undercard, fellow Southampton fighters including light-heavyweight contender Lewis Edmondson and super-middleweight prospect Taylor Bevan have respective bouts, and the city also has the 16-0 (8 KOs) Royston Barney-Smith emerging. If Garner wins, it will allow them all a possible future platform without having to get on the road for big fights. There is, of course, speculation that Garner and Barney-Smith could meet down the line in a Southampton superfight.
