Undercard highlights
Dagenham lightweight Kevin Mitchell, last seen holding his own with WBC king Jorge Linares, meets another dangerous Venezuelan in Ismael Barroso for the WBA Interim title. Liverpool cruiserweight Tony Bellew, a former world title challenger down at light-heavy, gets decent Pole Mateusz Masternak for the vacant European strap. Brighton’s showy Chris Eubank Jnr takes on Cork hardman Gary O’Sullivan in a duel between two of the best middleweights in Europe. There was another European title contest scheduled for the card with New York’s ex-two-weight global ruler Paulie Malignaggi challenging fellow Italian (Paulie has Italian heritage and passport) Gianluca Branco for the welterweight crown, but the latter withdrew and a substitute is being sought for Paulie. Rising star Luke Campbell (lightweight, Hull) defends his WBC International championship versus durable Frenchman Yvan Mendy, while Finchley heavyweight Dereck Chisora also appears.
