And at 30 years of age Wilton knows these kind of chances do-not come along to often.

“We will see on Friday night what happens.

“But I predict a Luke Wilton win by any means necessary. I’ll be leaving it all in the ring on fight night because I know I have to deliver and win that Commonwealth titles.”
