Manchester Arena is home to an absolutely jam-packed boxing card on Saturday night.
The headliner is a WBO World Lightweight title fight between undefeated Terry Flanagan and ferocious challenger Petr Petrov, but there are compelling fights throughout the card.
Compatriots Liam Williams and Liam Smith meet in a highly anticipated interim title bout that has Fight of the Year potential (though Smith can no longer win the title because he missed weight), while the professional debuts of two-time Olympic gold medalist Nicola Adams OBE and 19-year-old heavyweight Daniel Dubois also stand as must-see moments. Throw in the presence of other high-profile UK stars and competitive fights all over the rest of the card, and this should be a scintillating night of boxing.
