HULL'S Olympic champ Luke Campbell takes on fearsome Vasyl Lomachenko in London tonight. The London 2012 gold medallist Campbell headed over the Atlantic for his last contest back in March and saw off Adrian Yung with an emphatic fifth round stoppage. But this is a whole other league as Cool Hand returns to the O2 to take on the man widely regarded as the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet. Double Olympian Loma dispatched with Anthony Crolla in brutal fashion back in April and will look to add the vacant WBC lightweight title to his extensive belt collection.
One night. Four world title fights. Undefeated rising star Tim Tszyu takes on Sebastian Fundora & “Rolly” Romero defends his Super Lightweight championship belt against Mexican star “Pitbull” Cruz in the co-main event.

Unbeaten middleweight and WBO champion Demetrius Andrade puts his belt on the line when he takes on Irishman Jason Quigley.
Roman ‘Chocolatito’ Gonzalez returns to the ring against Julio Cesar Martinez. The WBC flyweight champion steps up in weight to face Gonzalez after his original opponent, Juan Francisco Estrada, pulled out of their scheduled trilogy fight.
Estrada (43-3, 28 KO) and Chocolatito (51-3, 41 KO) first met way back in 2012, when both were in the 108 lb division. Gonzalez won a decision to retain his WBA title that night, and as he went up the weight classes, Estrada chased behind him, hoping for an eventual rematch. That rematch didn’t come for over eight years, but the two met again in early 2021. In that one, Estrada got a debated split decision nod, retaining the WBA and WBC titles at 115 lbs. Since then, Estrada has given up both belts, though he does have the WBC’s “Franchise” belt.
