Ben Whittaker will look to take another step towards a world title shot when he takes on Conor Wallace tonight.
Light-heavyweight Whittaker is considered one of Britain's best prospects and has been backed to take over from Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua as a crossover star. But first he must put on another accomplished performance when he takes on Wallace tonight.
Born in Northern Ireland, Wallace has lived in Australia for the last eight years and is confident he can cause an upset in Birmingham tonight. Before the main event, some of the best young talent will be on show, including debutant Odel Kamara and Adam Maca.

Quotes corner
Ben Whittaker: "I know he’s game. I know he’s tough. And he has come here to try and change his life. It’s his World Cup Final. But he’s just a stepping stone for me and I’ve got to show that. I’d love to do the rounds – but I’d not love to either. There’s nothing better than knocking people out before you get backstage to eat some Five Guys then chilling out. The fans are paying their hard earned, so to get the rounds and look good under the lights to earn my money would be nice as well."
Conor Wallace: "This fight has been brewing for a while and I’m glad it’s finally here. The better the opponent, the better I perform. I’ve shown that throughout my entire career. You will see the best version of Conor Wallace on Saturday night. We know that Ben is a great operator and that he’s got a great team with Andy Lee. It will be a hard fight. But I am in the shape of my life, mentally and physically, and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show."
