Since moving out of Home Farm and into his own place with his wife Dawn (Olivia Bromley) and their kids Lucas and Evan, Billy has been struggling. 

And with Evan so sick, Billy feels like a useless dad unable to provide for his family. 

Because of this, he decides to take a huge risk that has a potentially big payoff - another boxing match. 

In scenes next week, Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) will be shocked to see that Billy is training for another unlicensed fight.

But soon Mack is impressed because John Sugden’s (Oliver Farmworth) impromptu coaching session have improved Billy’s defence. 

But John, who found out about the illegal boxing after Billy's last injury, secretly isn’t convinced by his new money earner.

He enlisted Aaron Dingle’s (Danny Miller) help in his effort to persuade Billy he’s not in a fit state to fight. But will it work?

As Emmerdale viewers know, Billy previously entered the work of illegal fighting with the best of intentions; to provide a better life for his wife and kids. 

It’s already nearly cost him his life, after he accidentally fell on something sharp during a fight (allegedly) and was left biting down on a belt while John stitched him up without anaesthetic.

After such a brush with death, and despite warnings to stop, Mack is shocked to discover that his pal is gearing up for yet another fight.

But Mack can’t stop him, so now all he can do is help.

Will John and Aaron be able to get through to him instead?
