Queensberry have announced a bumper British card set for April 5 in Manchester, England, with heavyweights Dillian Whyte and Joe Joyce locking horns in the main event.
The undercard features Lawrence Okolie taking on Richard Riakporhe in another all-British heavyweight clash.
Whyte (31-3, 28KOs), returns to fight in England for the first time since 2022 against Joyce (16-3, 15KOs), who is looking to bounce back from three defeats in his last four fights.
The April card is the first of three Queensberry shows that were announced on Monday, while Frank Warren also confirmed the signing of former undisputed junior welterweight champion Josh Taylor.
On May 10, former IBF super featherweight champion Northern Ireland’s Anthony Cacace will fight Nottingham’s Leigh Wood.
Later that month, Taylor will return to the ring in Glasgow, fighting Ekow Essuman.
“We are starting as we mean to go on and, as you might expect, the heavyweights will play a big, big part in 2025 and beyond,” Warren said.
“Then Nottingham is the place to be the following month for a real banger of a fight between Cacace and Wood. It is the sort of domestic blockbuster we will be seeing plenty of across the partnership between Queensberry and DAZN.”
