Bouts involving Ruslan Provodnikov, Demetrius Andrade and Dejan Zlaticanin will be screened as a triple-header on Sky Sports 1 on June 12.

Former WBO world super-lightweight champion Provodnikov (25-4-KO18) has won over fans the world over with his all-action style, and the Siberian clashes with John Molina Jr (28-6-KO23).

On the same bill in New York, unbeaten American sensation Andrade (22-0-KO15) bids to prove his career is firmly back on track in a clash with Willie Nelson (25-2-1-KO15); only Andrade's second fight in two years.

Andrade, 28, is the former WBO world super-welterweight champion having been stripped for his inactivity but now, with his legal disputes seemingly behind him, he looks primed to prove himself one of the world's leading boxers.

Perhaps most relevant in terms of British interest is the appearance of Zlaticanin (21-0-KO14); a 32-year-old Montenegrin who takes on Emiliano Marsili (32-0-1-KO14) for the interim WBC world lightweight crown.

With Britons Terry Flanagan and Anthony Crolla holding world titles in the division, former Ricky Burns conqueror Zlaticanin has the chance to make a statement - but Italy's Marsili, who stopped Derry Mathews in 2012, will have designs of his own.
