Eddie Hearn will stage four shows at the 12,500-capacity SSE Arena, Wembley, as he aims to increase pressure for a return of fans. The Oleksandr Usyk-Dereck Chisora heavyweight fight on October 31 will be the first of the shows at the venue, formerly known as Wembley Arena. It will then be followed at Wembley by the show headlined by Katie Taylor against Miriam Gutierrez on November 14 and then the November 21 Dillian Whyte-Alexander Povetkin bill. The final card will be headlined by Billy Joe Saunders making a defence of his WBO super-middleweight title. That is currently scheduled for November 28, although it might move back a week if Sky Sports decide not to go head-to-head with BT Sport’s screening of the Daniel Dubois-Joe Joyce heavyweight clash.

UK - Alen Babic continued the whirlwind start to his professional career as he bludgeoned Niall Kennedy to defeat in three rounds in Milton Keynes. The aggressive Croatian heavyweight, known as The Savage, flew out from his corner at the first bell throwing bombs and did not stop until it was over.

Linus Udofia retained the English middleweight title as he stopped John Harding Jr in the ninth round of their ten-rounder to open the Matchroom show in Milton Keynes. Harding was dropped heavily by a chopping right hook and, while he beat the count, referee Michael Alexander waved the fight off.
Alen Babic says he hopes Niall Kennedy will put up a good fight, so he can put on a performance to honour the memory of his hero, Joe Frazier, on Sunday in Milton Keynes.
