Joshua vs Povetkin: A starring undercard with Luke Campbell, Lawrence Okolie and David Price
Tuesday 18 September 2018 10:54, UK
Anthony Joshua's heavyweight showdown with Alexander Povetkin heads a packed line-up with some of Britain's biggest names in action.
Luke Campbell vs Yvan Mendy
Luke Campbell can exact revenge on Yvan Mendy this Saturday night, live on Sky Sports Box Office, and push himself to within touching distance of a world title shot in the process.
The pair meet in a final eliminator for the WBC lightweight strap almost three years on from Mendy's gritty points win over the then-unbeaten Hull southpaw. Campbell, now under the tutelage of Shane McGuigan, is adamant that he is much improved since that harrowing night, but can 'The Lion' dish out another devastating serving?
Cool Hand Luke
Matty Askin vs Lawrence Okolie
Lawrence Okolie is looking to continue his meteoric rise and claim the British cruiserweight title in just his 10th professional fight, but is it a step too far for the Rio 2016 Olympian who has fought beyond six rounds just once in his fledgling career?
'The Sauce' has dominated Isaac Chamberlain and Luke Watkins in his two previous outings but now he takes on British champion Matty Askin, a seasoned pro on an impressive and ruthless streak himself. 'The Assassin', who makes the second defence of his coveted belt, will no doubt have his hands full against the Hackney heavy-hitter.
Sergey Kuzmin vs David Price
David Price is back and once again he has an icy Russian challenge on his hands, this time in the shape of the unbeaten Sergey Kuzmin, a former amateur standout.
After a punishing defeat to Alexander Povetkin, the man taking on Anthony Joshua in the main event, Price is once against looking to bounce back into the heavyweight ranks. Both fighters have the tools to finish things in an instant - so, don't blink in this one!
