Anthony Yarde will be looking to become a world champion at the second time of asking when he takes on unified world light heavyweight champion Artur Beterbiev next January.
Yarde failed in his first shot at becoming a world champion after being beaten by an ageing Sergey Kovalev in August 2018, and now he faces an even tougher test in the form of Beterbiev.
Since turning professional in June 2013, Beterbiev has been a destructive force in the light heavyweight division, knocking out all 18 of his opponents en-route to claiming the WBO, WBC and IBF light heavyweight titles.
Now he will be looking to produce something similar against Yarde and hope an undisputed fight with WBA champion Dmitry Bivol can be secured for the second half of 2023.
