With Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez postponed, Mikael Lawal and Isaac Chamberlain have stepped up to be the main event, live on Sky Sports on Saturday night. They will contest the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight championships, now at York Hall in Bethnal Green. It's a fight neither Lawal nor Chamberlain could let pass. Both have waited a long time to settle their rivalry.
'He's strong, come forward, he can punch. But that's his main game plan,' Gilley said. 'I've got to outsmart him, I've got to out box him. 'My last four opponents, all four have been on the floor so he's got to be careful as well.' Benwell's Joe Laws stepped in at short notice to box Michael Hennessy at middleweight. 'I'm taking this chance. I'm coming for a fight. Where I'm from we take nothing lying down,' Laws declared.
