The main event in the stunning Monaco setting sees Denis Lebedev (31-2, 23 KO’s) defend his WBA cruiserweight world title against undefeated American Mike Wilson (19-0, 8 KO’s).
China’s 20-0 Heavyweight star Zhilei Zhang puts his WBO Oriental title on the line against Russia’s Alexander Ustinov (34-2, 25 KO’s) in the toughest fight of his career. The 2008 Olympic silver medallist is targeting a potential showdown with his old amateur rival, heavyweight world champion Anthony Joshua.
WBA Super-Flyweight World Champion Kal Yafai (24-0, 15 KO’s) aims to maintain his undefeated record when he makes the fourth defence of his crown against Mexico’s Israel Gonzalez (23-2, 10 KO’s).
