Fight card – The rundown

Anthony Joshua vs Alexander Povetkin – IBF, WBO and WBA โ€˜superโ€™ world heavyweight titles

Unified champion Joshua (21-0, 20 KOโ€™s) added the WBO title to his collection with a win over Joseph Parker (24-2, 18 KOโ€™s), while Povetkin (34-1, 24 KOโ€™s) claimed his most recent win on the undercard of that contest with a fifth round stoppage of Brit David Price (22-4, 18 KOโ€™s).

Luke Campbell vs Yvan Mendy – lightweight

A rematch of their 2015 encounter in which Mendy (40-4-1 (1), 19 KOโ€™s) won on a split decision, Campbell has had seven fights since that loss, with six wins and one defeat coming against Jorge Linares in September 2017 for the WBA lightweight title. This fight is a final eliminator for Mikey Garciaโ€™s WBC lightweight world title.

Matty Askin vs Lawrence Okolie – British cruiserweight title

Askin (23-3-1, 15 KOโ€™s) defends his British cruiserweight title for the second time since beating ย Craig Kennedy (17-1, 8 KOโ€™s) for the strap in May 2017. Olympian Okolie (9-0, 7 KOโ€™s) is looking to add to his Commonwealth and WBA Continental titles.

David Price vs Sergey Kuzmin – heavyweight

Former Russian amateur star Kuzmin (currently 11-0-1, 8 KOโ€™s) will make his first appearance in the UK. Kuzmin won gold in the 2010 European amateur championships at super-heavyweight and beat current Commonwealth champion Joe Joyce in the unpaid ranks via first round stoppage. As a pro he competed for the WBC International heavyweight title in his last contest but drew to Amir Mansour (23โ€“3โ€“2, 16 KOโ€™s). Popular Briton David Price, after boxing Povetkin last time out, takes on another dangerous Russian.
