George Liddard defends his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles against former European champion, Tyler Denny at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday.
Eddie Hearn’s Matchroom promote Liddard vs Denny and DAZN televise the bill live worldwide.
Liddard (13-0, 8 KOs), undefeated in 13 professional bouts, announced himself on the domestic scene in October, stopping Kieron Conway to rip away the Commonwealth crown and added the vacant Lonsdale strap to his collection.
The 23-year-old is making steady inroads on the world scene as well, holding top 15 rankings in both the IBF and WBA and the Essex man can bolster his IBF rating here, with the vacant IBF Intercontinental belt also at stake.
Denny (21-3-3, 1 KO) is a reasonable step-up from Conway and certainly has the edge in experience.
The 34-year-old previously held the European strap and has solid victories over the likes of Felix Cash, Brad Pauls and Matteo Signani.
The southpaw challenger has been beaten three times, including twice by stoppage, most recently by Hamzah Sheeraz in two rounds in 2024.
Denny has bounced back with two wins over Elvis Ahorgah and Grant Dennis respectively and looks to take a major scalp against Liddard.
Prediction: Liddard should be too young and fresh for Denny and can take a stoppage in the mid-to-late rounds.
Sains battles Osaze
Big-punching, Jimmy Sains makes a first defence of his English middleweight title against Derrick Osaze.
Sains (11-0, 10 KOs) won the vacant belt last time out with a fourth round retirement win over Troy Coleman.
Osaze (13-3, 3 KOs) looks to snap a run of two straight defeats, with his last a unanimous decision loss to Liddard last January.
Prediction: Sains can stop Osaze.
Visioli faces Giles
Highly-rated lightweight prospect, Giorgio Visioli makes a first defence of his English title against Levi Giles.
Visioli (10-0, 6 KOs) outpointed Joe Howarth in December to claim the vacant title and has been heavily-linked with a showdown with rising American, Curmel Moton.

Giles (17-2-1, 4 KOs) has moved up in weight after two defeats at super featherweight, falling short in bids for English, British and Commonwealth title shots.
Prediction: Visioli can remain unbeaten with a points victory.
Remaining Undercard
Emmanuel Buttigieg (11-0, 3 KOs) can also win on points against Jake Goodwin (8-2-1, 1 KO) in their middleweight encounter.
Exciting super middleweight, Taylor Bevan (7-0, 7 KOs) should make it eight wins by knockout against Argentina’s Martin Ezequiel Bulacio (15-10, 10 KOs).
Bad intentions every single time

Featherweight Adam Maca (4-0, 4 KOs) can also keep up his 100% knockout ratio when he faces Lydon Chircop (8-3, 4 KOs).
Also at 126 pounds, Connor Mitchell (1-0, 1 KO) may require the distance for the first time when he meets Italy’s Yuri Zanoli in just his second outing as a professional.
Super featherweight Louie Ward makes his professional debut and he can begin with a points success over Jahfieus Faure (4-23-3).
