Hello and welcome along to a huge night of boxing as Oleksandr Usyk takes on Derek Chisora in an eagerly-awaited heavyweight clash.
And there's more with Wales' Lee Selby aiming to become mandatory challenger for the IBF Lightweight Championship but he must find a way past unbeaten Australian George Kambosos Jr.
England's Savannah Marshall and Scotland's Hannah Rankin also fight for the vacant WBO Women's Middleweight Championship in their re-arranged title contest which was called off at short notice earlier this month.
Fright nightpublished at 20:14 Greenwich Mean Time 31 October 2020
Oleksandr Usyk is regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world.
The Ukrainian won world and Olympic titles as an amateur and then turned professional and became an undisputed world champion at cruiserweight level, stopping Tony Bellew in a defence of all the belts.
Now he's at heavyweight and will became a mandatory challenger for one of Anthony Joshua's world titles if he wins tonight.
In his way is the ferocious and always entertaining Briton Derek Chisora in what should be a thrilling, brutal fight. Who will have a happy Halloween?
