“His next fight will be much tougher but he’s capable of beating him. If he does then there’s a good chance that he’ll go on and win it.”
Farnhill has been sparring with Liam Smith at Joe Gallagher’s base, situated at Amir Khan’s Academy in Bolton, ahead of the Merseysider’s bout against Sam Eggington at Liverpool’s Echo Arena.
The Ribble Valley fighter, who was watched by Anthony Crolla, Frankie Gavin, Callum Smith and Paul Smith - who described him as ‘pure class’ - has also been helping Scott Fitzgerald prepare for his scrap against Anthony Fowler at Larches and Savick ABC in Preston.

“Reece used to watch these lads train and now he’s getting the opportunity to spar with them. They’ve asked him back as well. They were made up with him.
“He dealt with the situation really well, with all those stars around him. It was an interesting experience and he held his own.”
