Josh Kelly will face replacement opponent Ishmael Davis after Liam Smith was forced to withdraw from their fight on the Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois undercard.

Kelly was set to take on former world champion Smith, but the Liverpudlian pulled out due to a 'health setback', just a few days before their scheduled bout, and Davis has stepped in at late notice on the packed bill at Wembley Stadium, live on Sky Sports Box Office.

Davis was already preparing to fight in Manchester later this month and the unbeaten contender will be determined to boost his reputation with an upset victory over Kelly.
