Frank Warren, who promotes top rated super middleweight Zach Parker, would love to lure Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez to the UK for a big stadium fight. Parker is the WBO's top rated contender. He returns to the ring on Saturday night and faces Sherzod Khusanov at the Royal Albert Hall in Kensington.

THE HEAVY MOB are coming to town on July 24 at the SSE Arena, Wembley when the Big Juggernaut, Joe Joyce, resumes his mission to hit the pinnacle of the heavyweight pecking order.

The venue for our BT broadcast fistic delivery is the grand old Royal Albert Hall, which we have happily restored to the boxing map over the last couple of years or so. There really is no place like it for watching the sport and, if you haven’t experienced it, I recommend you giving it a bash.
