Giorgio Visioli made the first defence of his English lightweight title with a routine win over Levi Giles at London’s Copper Box Arena

Jimmy Sains will enter the ring on Saturday night to fight Derrick Osaze armed with the knowledge of his trainer Tony Sims and gym-mate George Liddard

Derrick Osaze has insisted that he is not just a stepping stone for the rising Jimmy Sains ahead of Saturday’s contest at London’s Copperbox Arena

George Liddard tells Tom Ivers that he plans to continue "stepping up" each fight ahead of Saturday's headliner against Derrick Osaze

Former British middleweight champion and world title challenger Denzel Bentley is circling for another big fight. Bentley has taken just two rounds to stop his last two opponents, the 16-1-1 Danny Dignum and 13-1 Derrick Osaze, and he is ranked No. 2 by the WBO, waiting to see if the fight will be made between champion Janibek Alimkhanuly and Hamzah Sheeraz, the No. 1 contender - and Bentley promotional stablemate. Purse bids for that bout have been called for November 4.

Denzel Bentley has already pieced together a spectacular highlight reel, but his second-round stoppage of Derrick Osaze last month has shot straight to the top of his own list of favorites.

Derrick Osaze was warming to the task against London middleweight Denzel Bentley but walked onto a second-round right uppercut inside a red-hot York Hall in Bethnal Green, and that was that.

Denzel Bentley knows that he will be taking a risk when he fights Derrick Osaze at London’s York Hall on Saturday night, but the former world-title challenger believes it is exactly the type of test he needs as he prepares himself for another run at the highest level

David Greisman gives us the lowdown on the fights to watch this week.

Stefan Haertel (18-1 with just two early endings) won the EBU title last night in Magdeburg when he beat stablemate Robin Krasniqi (49-6) on points after an exciting fight. It was scored 117-112, 116-112 and 115-113.
