Welterweight Chris Kongo is determined to use Sunday's victory over Florian Marku as a springboard to greater success.

Chris Kongo secured the finest victory of his career with perhaps his finest performance when he was awarded a unanimous decision at the conclusion of 10 entertaining rounds with Florian Marku

Florian Marku, 13-0-1 (8 KOs), has had a target on his back since he burst on to the scene five years ago. Britain’s welterweights regardless continue to line up for their own shot at “The Albanian King”

Chris Kongo and Florian Marku haven’t exactly been on the best of terms since they had an altercation during a press conference last summer. The welterweights have the chance to settle their differences on March 31 in an attractive fight on the undercard of the British and Commonwealth heavyweight title fight between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke. With a fight to promote, Kongo (14-2, 7 KOs) and Marku (13-0-1, 8 KOs) did the rounds, appearing on television shows, podcasts and radio shows together but modern fight promotion dictates that the two can’t turn their backs on each other completely until the last pre-fight promo is in the can.

Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke top a stacked card in the capital as they look to settle their differences in one of British boxing’s most hotly anticipated match ups.

Ben Whittaker will stay true to a vow to remain far more active in 2024.

An opponent was not yet confirmed for West Bromwich's Whittaker, whose placement on the show comes on the heels of his fifth-round knockout of Khalid Graidia earlier this month.
