Cheeseman has traded angry words with Byfield in recent weeks, suggesting the Reading man believes the "hype," and a handful of his supporters heckled 'The Ghost', in front of the cameras.

Taking the microphone, Byfield shouted: "Let's show this cheesy boy who is really good."

He then climbed down from the ring to continue his rant, with Cheeseman warming up just a few yards away, before he stepped between the ropes.

Cheeseman's clash with Byfield is part of an exciting bill this weekend, topped by John Ryder's WBA final eliminator against fellow super-middleweight contender Andrey Sirotkin.
