The strapping Romford Bull is a hero at Exeter – as well as Essex – after graduating with a 2:1 history degree at university and starring in the rugby team.
But Saturday night’s opponent, Babic – a 33-year-old former doorman and graduate of the school of hard knocks – thinks he will teach the Bachelor of Arts a lesson.

“I only knew one way, so me being here means much more than him being here.
“I was destined to be in prison or dead or even robbing drug dealers, I was destined for all the worst things
“This is a collision of two worlds, we are two worlds away from each other.
“There’s a big age difference – and everything – and that will be revealed on Saturday.”
Babic was a fan-friendly wrecking ball when he arrived on the scene – ignoring almost every basic rule of boxing.

“I don’t want belts,” he growled with conviction. “I just want fights that the fans can enjoy.

“I paid a year of my life for a year of depression, every kind of bad thing you can imagine
“I paid with my own blood, literally. And I will never do that again.”
