Bakhodir Jalolov vs Solomon Dacres: Fight date, venue, ring walk time, undercard, tale of the tape, fight purse & more
One of the biggest heavyweight prospects to emerge in recent years is set to return to the ring on the undercard of the WBO heavyweight title rematch between Daniel Dubois and Fabio Wardley on Saturday night.
With a 6ft 7in frame, two Olympic gold medals under his belt and a perfect 18-0 record under his belt Bakhodir Jalolov has all the tools to be a real threat in the upper echelons of boxing's glamour division.
The Uzbekistani southpaw has scored 16 knockouts since turning professional in 2018 and will look to continue his ascent up the ranks at the O2 Arena this weekend.
Standing in his way is former English heavyweight champion Solomon Dacres.
In his most recent outing Dacres scored an impressive win over Ukrainian Vladyslav Sirenko and he will once again attempt to upset the odds against the heavily favoured Jalolov.
