Daniel Dubois returns to action against Richard Lartey tonight as he looks to extend his flawless professional record to 11-0.
The 21-year-old sealed the 9th knockout victory of his career last time out against Razvan Cojanu in two rounds at the Royal Albert Hall in March.
There is added spice to tonight's fight following this week's news that fellow British heavyweight Joe Joyce has signed with promoter Frank Warren.
It comes as the British Boxing Board of Control announced this week that an agreement had been reached for Putney’s Joyce and Dubois to meet for the vacant British title.
For now though, Dubois's focus is on Ghana’s Lartey, whose only defeat came through an injury-enforced retirement.

Prediction
Dubois is making rapid progress and is regarded as one of the heavyweight's brightest young talents.
While Lartey may have a point over some of his previous opponents - see Dubois' chilling knockout win over AJ Carter in 2017 - the Johnson and Cojanu fights have represented fair tests he has passed comfortably.
Having rediscovered his destructive touch last time out, knockout no.10 could be on the way this weekend.
