Cosme Rivera will fight Lee Purdy for the IBF International welterweight title at the Wembley Arena in Betfair’s ‘London’s Finest’ on Saturday night live on Sky Sports following Carson Jones’ withdrawal due to illness.

Former World title challenger Rivera is well known to the UK when his last visit ended in an exciting KO victory over James Hare for the World Boxing Federation welterweight title. Rivera went on to fight some big names in the division including Andre Berto, Alfredo Angulo and a unified World title challenge against Zab Judah.

I met Cosme Rivera and he's one of the nicest guys and true professionals in the sport. Had lunch with him and he was great.

I hope he wins.

Bloody hell, the fight against Hare was a decade ago.
