In tonight’s Co-main, Jack Rafferty defends his Commonwealth Super-Lightweight title for the fourth time against Cory O’Regan.

His opponent, O’Regan, has a record of 14 wins and is also undefeated in his professional career – he’s making a very quick turnaround after beating Georgi Velichkov in March.
Highly touted British heavyweight David Adeleye also features on the card and will go head-to-head with Jeamie TKV for the vacant British heavyweight title.
After losing to Fabio Wardley, ‘Big D’ bounced back with a huge knockout win against Solomon Dacres.
He’ll be hoping to make it a second win in a row and to capture the British title.
Jeamie ‘TKV’ Tshikeva most recently fought in February this year which saw him claim the vacant IBO international heavyweight title after beating Michael Webster by TKO.
Mark Chamberlain, named as Turki Al-Sheikh‘s favourite fighter will also feature on tonight’s undercard, he’ll be hoping to bounce back after losing to Josh Padley last September.
