Moses Itauma looks to take the next step in his promising journey as he faces off against fellow British heavyweight Dillian Whyte on Saturday.
Itauma has emerged as one of the most exciting talents in British boxing having disposed of each of his last eight opponents within two rounds.
The 20-year-old, who has a perfect 12-0 record, now finds himself ranked No1 by WBO after his knockout win over Mike Balogun in May.
And despite his age, Itauma will hope that another convincing performance can see his name truly thrown into the world title mix next year.
Standing in his way, however, is veteran heavyweight Whyte who has been defeated just three times in his 34 professional fights.
‘The Body Snatcher’ has won his last three fights since his return from a drugs ban which was overturned after it was found to be caused by a contaminated supplement.
The 37-year-old cut an impressive figure on Friday, tipping the scales at his lightest weight in over a decade, and will hope to roll back the years and produce an upset to keep himself in contention for more big fights towards the back end of his career.
Ahead of fight night here is everything you need to know, including the ringwalk time, undercard details and how to watch on TV and live stream.
