Joe Cordina will kick things off on Sky Sports Box Office at 6pm
Saturday 31 March 2018 20:14, UK
Everything you need to know as Ryan Burnett, Anthony Crolla, David Price and more make up a starring support cast to the Anthony Joshua-Joseph Parker heavyweight clash.
David Price can defy the odds and re-announce himself on the heavyweight scene this Saturday night, live on Sky Sports Box Office. But, to do that, the hard-hitting Liverpudlian will have to overcome fearsome Russian Alexander Povetkin.
Povetkin has just a sole defeat to Wladimir Klitschko to his name on a stellar professional record and, ranked as the WBA No 1, he can send out a chilling warning to both Joshua and the British fight fans.
Weigh-in...
Alexander Povetkin: 16st 5lb
David Price: 18st 4lb 3oz
WBA champion Burnett, 25, is improving with every fight and, after showing differing qualities in his victories over Lee Haskins and Zhanat Zhakiyanov, he now faces mandatory challenger and gritty Venezuelan Parejo.
The endearing Northern Irish favourite will hope to showcase his undoubted talent, honed by trainer Adam Booth, as he looks to extend his unbeaten record and move towards another Belfast barnstormer.

Ryan Burnett: 8st 5lbs 8oz
Yonfrez Parejo: 8st 5lbs
After crucially beating three-weight king Ricky Burns last time out, Anthony Crolla continues on the road to be a two-time world lightweight champion and the Manchester fighter could bid for world glory this summer.
It will no doubt be a tough night's work against Mexican Ramirez, who has just two razor-sharp early career losses on his record, and 'Buba' comes to the immense Cardiff stadium with all to gain and very little to lose. For 'Million Dollar', another mouthwatering domestic showdown with Luke Campbell could well be on the cards.
Weigh-in...
Anthony Crolla: 9st 10lbs 6oz
Edson Ramirez: 9st 10lbs 8oz
Kelly's meteoric rise has been an astounding one so far, but now, just five fights into his career, he faces his acid test against Mexican veteran Molina, 34, a former super-welterweight world champion with the bit clearly between his teeth.
Molina has notched up 38 professional fights which has seen him share the ring with Erislandy Lara, James Kirkland and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr twice among others, so 'Pretty Boy' Kelly will have to be at his best to claim his first international title. With a North East return pencilled in for June 16, the 24-year-old can set up a memorable homecoming.
Weigh-in...
Josh Kelly: 10st 6lbs 5oz
Carlos Molina: 10st 5lbs 7oz
Cardiff native Cordina admits he is taking a "big step up" when he battles Ben Ali for the WBA international lightweight belt, but 'The Welsh Wizard' is determined to impress in front of his home fans and show it is already time to start mixing it at domestic level.
Cordina, 26, is only six fights into his professional career but with a standout and extensive amateur grounding this could be the start of a major and potentially title-laden year for the skilful technician.

Joe Cordina: 9st 8lbs 5oz
Hakim Ben Ali: 9st 8lbs 2oz
