Among those featuring before the main event are IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia and WBC women’s featherweight champion Sky Nicholson. Meanwhile Chris Eubank Jr returns to the ring for the first time in over a year.

There is also a huge rematch between British fighters Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke for the former’s British light heavyweight title, the last before the main event. They met back in March of this year, but it ended in a draw.
