At 34, Welborn (24-8, 7 KOs) has seven years on his rival and made his debut as far back as 2005 when he fought Jamie Ambler to begin his professional career with a win.

Welborn had plenty to say to disparage his rival, accusing him of having an easy time of it with Matchroom, saying: “He’s been with Matchroom as soon as he turned pro.
