20:50 - Makabu v Jack Fight Preview

It seems a bit strange for a world title fight to be below a clash between a YouTuber and former reality star on tonight's billing, yet here we are...

Ilunga Makabu v Badou Jack is certainly an exciting fight for all of you hardened boxing fans out there, with the former having held the WBC cruiserweight title since 2020 and the latter having held world titles in two weight classes during his career.

Previously a world champion at super-middleweight and light-heavyweight, tonight will be 39-year-old Jack's first bout at cruiserweight, with his ability to adjust to this heavier weight a key factor in this fight against 35-year-old Makabu.

The reigning champion Makabu has not fought in over a year, however, and Jack will be looking to capitalise on any ring rust should it be displayed by his southpaw opponent.
