Dillian Whyte is on the comeback trail as he fights Jermaine Franklin in London tonight.
‘The Bodysnatcher’ is the heavy favourite to dispatch an American opponent that, while undefeated as a professional with 14 knockouts from 21 wins, has never fought anyone of this calibre and will have to make a considerable step up at Wembley’s OVO Arena.
Whyte will be out to banish memories of the unfortunate events that transpired just a short walk away seven months ago, when he was totally dominated by Tyson Fury and emphatically stopped in round six of a long-awaited WBC heavyweight title shot at a full stadium.
The build-up has been fiesty this week and there is certainly no love lost between this pair, which is likely to lead to fireworks as they compete for a potentially lucrative showdown with Anthony Joshua in the New Year.
Here is everything you need to know about tuning in for the boxing this evening.
