Dillian Whyte v Alexander Povetkin 2



The long awaited rematch between 'The Body Snatcher' Dillian Whyte (27-2) and Alexander Povetkin (36-2) is finally set to go ahead in the ' Rumble On The Rock' in Gibraltar on March 27th after being postponed from earlier in the month due Covid- 19 restrictions.

The two first met in Matchroom's Fight Camp in August , where Povetkin pulled off a shock win , with a brutal uppercut to put Whyte out in round 5 despite being floored twice by Whyte already in the fight.

Whyte his looking to avenge this defeat , only his second in his career , to set up a World title shot , something he has been waiting years for despite being mandatory for over 1000 days for the WBC World Title.

Povetkin who turned 41 last year, will certainly be heading into one of his final bouts as a professional , potentially his last if he fails to win. His career has spanned over 16 years since becoming a professional and has been in the ring with the likes of Wladimir Klitschko , Carlos Takam ,Anthony Joshua , Hughie Fury and Dillian Whyte to name a few and has only recorded 2 loses in that time.

Dillian Whyte has become a seasoned pro over the last few years , having 11 years experience in the ring to this point and become one of the most feared men in the heavyweight division. With only 2 loses on his record to Unified World Champion Anthony Joshua and the defeat to Povetkin last time out , he will be looking to get back into World title contention with a win over the Russian.

Ted Cheeseman v JJ Metcalf



In an exciting domestic fight Ted Cheeseman takes on JJ Metcalf for the British title.

Ted Cheeseman is no stranger to exciting domestic fights , already being in the ring with Sam Eggington , Scott Fitzgerald and Kieran Conway , all of which were close fights and fantastic to watch.

JJ Metcalf comes in to this fight with a perfect record of 21-0 but he is yet to face someone of Cheeseman's experience.

Cheeseman is looking to box in a world title eliminator if he overcomes Metcalf although it has been stated that Anthony Fowler could fight the winner of this fight.

Fabio Wardley v Eric Molina





Heavyweight prospect Fabio Wardley takes on experienced American Eric Molina.

Molina (27-6) two time World Title challenger is coming off a loss to Filip Hrgovic in December 2019.

Fabio Wardley is taking a massive step up for this fight , although he has come through every opponent in front of him to date , with 9 of his 10 wins coming by knock out.

Simon Vallily and Richard Lartey have been two of the stand out victories on Wardley's record to date and a win against Eric Molina would make a big statement in the Heavyweight division.
