Chris Billam-Smith is set to make a second defence of his WBO cruiserweight title when he faces old rival Richard Riakporhe tonight.
The pair have met once before in 2019 which saw Riakporhe triumph by split decision, and already the tension is building during fight week with a disagreement over the dressing rooms at Selhurst Park in London.
In addition to the main event, there are a number of notable names featuring on the undercard including Isaac Chamberlain who will face Jack Massey for the vacant European cruiserweight title.
The divisive Ben Whittaker is also in action as he looks to continue his development in the professional ranks, and Dan Azeez is set to lace up the gloves for the first time since losing to Joshua Buatsi in February.
