  1. Lion's performance from Melvin

    We've already had some boxing in Derby before the BBC iPlayer coverage kicked off.

    There were wins for lightweight Scott Melvin and super-featherweight Josh Rose.

    Melvin made us chuckle by wearing a lion's mask before beating Harvey Sturton, while Rose remained unbeaten with his third win of his career against Jorge Luis Huerta Balleza.

    BBC iPlayer

    We'll have round-by-round updates for two fights tonight - the co-main when bantamweights Francesca Hennessy and Fabiana Bytyqi collide at around 20:15 GMT, and the main event between heavyweight pair Frazer Clarke and Jeamie TKV, which is scheduled for 21:00.

    For now, we'll leave you to watch the undercard via the stream at the top of this page or on BBC iPlayer, before returning later to build up to those two bouts.

    Hello from Derby.

    Live professional boxing on BBC linear TV for the first time in 20 years. It can only be good for the sport.

    Free-to-air boxing is how so many of us fell in love with it: Prince Naseem Hamed, Nigel Benn, Chris Eubank Sr… all those nights on ITV.

    If tonight inspires even a handful of kids to lace up gloves and wander into a local gym, who knows, maybe there’s a future Anthony Joshua or Tyson Fury Fury in the bunch.

    And as Frazer Clarke told me this week, the sport can change lives. The real win might be what boxing can do for their wellbeing.

  5. How to watch Clarke v TKV on the BBC

    The running order is below, with ringwalks for the Clarke v TKV pencilled in for 21:00.

    BBC iPlayer:

    • Jack Massey v Ivan Gabriel (cruiserweight)
    • Bobby Dalton v Joel Kudoa (English welterweight title)
    • Bradley Goldsmith v Jordan Dujon (middleweight)

    From 20:00 GMT on BBC Two:

    • Frazer Clarke v Jeamie TKV (British heavyweight title)
