And the eight-bout undercard has now been put together ahead of the fight night.
British heavyweight champion Fabio Wardley faces American veteran Michael Polite-Coffie in the co-feature bout.
Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams – on the verge of a big fight with Felix Cash – returns against experienced Brit River Wilson-Bent.
Ricky Hatton’s son Campbell is also in action having just improved to 10-0 while John Hedges fights ex-Tommy Fury opponent Daniel Bocianski.

One said: “When was the last time there was a decent undercard anywhere?”
Another added: “Would close the blinds if it was on in the back garden.”
One joked: “I’m in a ballot for free tickets for the fight, I’m hoping I don’t win.”
