There are two decent boxing bills on tonight for hardcore fans. The first is headlined by a heavyweight showdown between Anthony Joshua and short-notice replacement Robert Helenius after the Dillian Whyte fight was cancelled due to the ‘Body Snatcher’ failing a pre-fight drugs test. Derek Chisora features on the undercard against American Gerald Washington while Filip Hrgovic and Demsey McKean duke it out in the co-feature attraction for the IBF’s mandatory status. Then over the pond in America, Emanuel Navarrete defends his WBO junior lightweight belt against Oscar Valdez in an all-Mexican clash which is expected to produce fireworks. Here, Express Sport provides you with all the details for tonight’s boxing.
