A Stacked Undercard of Mayhem
Before the main protagonists throw down, a host of other intriguing battles will take centre stage:
- Luis Alcaraz Pineda vs. Anthony Taylor II: A grudge match rematch that promises fireworks.

Fight Week Drama & Weight Mishap
The build-up to the fight has been anything but smooth. The event was thrown into chaos when Till's original opponent, Moh Mutie, was forced to pull out just days before the event due to medical concerns.
In a dramatic twist, Mutaz Ferguson stepped in on extremely short notice to save the main event. However, the late change was not without its own controversy. Ferguson notably tipped the scales nearly 20lbs heavier than Till during Friday's weigh-in, a significant advantage that adds another layer of intrigue to this already unpredictable clash.
Will Till's MMA pedigree be enough to overcome a heavier, more experienced boxer on short notice? Tune in to DAZN tonight to witness the chaos unfold.
