Albanian prospect Florian ‘The Albanian King’ Marku will face French contender Jorick Luisetto on a BOXXER promoted show at the SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday 20th November, live and exclusive on Sky Sports.

Florian Marku, who these days calls himself the Albanian King, kept his unbeaten run going at the expense of Maxim Prodan in a welterweight ten-rounder that promised to be a barn-burner, turned into a slightly frustrating affair and produced some wildly differing scorelines on the Joshua-Usyk undercard at Tottenham.

Oleksandr Usyk was heavier Friday for the biggest fight of his career than any of his first 18 professional fights. Anthony Joshua still outweighed him by nearly 19 pounds at O2 Arena in London. The 6-feet-6 Joshua stepped on the British Boxing Board of Control’s scale at 240 pounds for their 12-round heavyweight title fight Saturday night in London.

Details of the supporting cast to Anthony Joshua’s huge IBF, WBA, WBO and IBO Heavyweight World Title showdown with Oleksandr Usyk at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday September 25 have been confirmed.

Kid Galahad and James ‘Jazza’ Dickens finally have a home for their title fight. The long-ago ordered featherweight clash will land atop the August 7 edition of Matchroom Fight Camp, airing live on DAZN from Matchroom Boxing headquarters in Brentwood, Essex. The vacant IBF featherweight title fight will be at stake for the bout, which was stuck in a holding pattern since the purse bid hearing held earlier this year.

Unbeaten welterweight contender Conor Benn has rejected the idea of fighting unbeaten prospect Florian Marku. This past Saturday night in Bolton, Marku got off the floor to score a stoppage win over Rylan Charlton in the eighth round.

SSE Arena, Wembley - Florian Marku climbed off the canvas to stop Rylan Charlton in eight rounds in the evening's chief-support bout. 'The Albanian King' toppled to the canvas in the sixth round, but then forced the stoppage with a ferocious response and called for a future clash with Benn, who was watching from ringside as part of the Sky Sports team.

Florian Marku was forced to climb off the floor, but carried enough power to gun down Rylan Charlton in the eighth of a welterweight ten-rounder at the SSE Arena, Wembley. The Albanian will hope that win was enough to see him get a fight with the likes of Conor Benn, but the 28-year-old looks some way off that for now.
