Mandatory challenger Josh Kelly lands a hometown World Title shot against monster-punching IBF World Super Welterweight Champion Bakhram Murtazaliev.
The world's "most dangerous" female fighter Elif Nur Turhan has been added to a blockbuster night of boxing brought to you by Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn and DAZN on Saturday, January 31 right here in Newcastle.
The newly crowned IBF World Lightweight Champion defends her title against Australia's Taylah Gentzen on an exciting undercard headlined by Bakhram Murtazaliev’s IBF Super Welterweight World Championship clash with the North-East’s very own, Josh Kelly.
Josh Padley, meanwhile, challenges Jaouad Belmehdi for the vacant EBU Super Featherweight Championship as menacing Heavyweight wonderkid Leo Atang looks ahead to his fifth professional contest, with stablemate and promising Cruiserweight prospect Brad Casey also in action.
Commonwealth Games silver medallist amateur standout and North-East native Kiaran MacDonald makes his long-awaited professional debut. Plus, rising hometown Super Bantamweight fan favourite Lee Rogers will be out to stretch his record to 7-0.
And don’t blink as we look forward to a pulsating North-East derby between Newcastle’s unbeaten Josh Blenkiron and Jarrow’s undefeated Robbie Colman for the Northern Area Lightweight title.
A historic night of World Championship boxing awaits.
