Sky Sports (UK), 2:00 pm ET, Chris Billam-Smith vs Isaac Chamberlain. Good matchup with Billam-Smith’s European and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles on the line. Olympic silver medalist Ben Whittaker will make his pro debut at 175, plus Caroline Dubois, Frazer Clarke, and more in action. Bad Left Hook will have live coverage.
Channel 5 (UK), 5:00 pm ET, Josh Kelly vs Lucas Bastida. Kelly just fought on June 17, winning handily but also suffering a cut, but he’s back already anyway as he looks to shake rust following a lengthy layoff. On paper, Bastida is a better fighter than the guy he fought in June, and the hope here is that he’ll do this fight and sign for a bout with Troy Williamson, which the BBBofC ordered recently.
SHO, 9:00 pm ET, Danny Garcia vs Jose Benavidez Jr. Danny makes the move up to 154 against Jose Benavidez Jr, a talented fighter whose pro career has just never quite taken off the way it was expected to, once upon a time. But Garcia’s going to be short at 154; I don’t know that he’ll be small, because he has a fairly thick build, but it’s going to be a challenging division for him. Adam Kownacki faces Ali Eren Demirezen, and Gary Anutanne Russell takes on Rances Barthelemy. Solid card overall. Bad Left Hook will have live coverage.
