After months of back and forth posts on social media, and tense negotiations, Joe Joyce and Joseph Parker will finally meet in what has the potential to be a thrilling heavyweight matchup.
Joyce has looked unstoppable since turning professional in 2017, but this clash with Parker will be his toughest fight to date.
Parker is a former world champion and now looks to earn himself a second world title shot with the winner of this fight becoming the mandatory challenger for the WBO title which is currently held by Oleksandr Usyk.
This card also features Amanda Serrano who returns to the ring for the first time since her thrilling fight with Katie Taylor earlier this year when she attempts to unify the IBF, WBC and WBO women's featherweight titles against Sarah Mahfoud.
