Boxing tonight: TV channels, live streams, start times and fight cards
It's a big night of action in Manchester tonight when Joshua Buatsi takes on Daniel Dos Santos in the main event of a big Matchroom Boxing card.
The British boxing champion is an overwhelming favourite over his French opponent, but both are undefeated and it could be a more competitive bout given Matchroom's history of bringing in foreign fighters
Eddie Hearn has been adamant that this will be the promotion's last card done without fans in attendance as UK restrictions around Covid-19 begin to be loosened.
Three European Title fights feature on the bill with Gamal Yafai defending his Super-Bantamweight Title for the first time against Jason Cunninghan.
Tommy McCarthy will also be defending his Cruiserweight crown against Romania’s Alexandru Jur and Lerrone Richards faces Italy’s Giovanni De Carolis for the vacant Super-Middleweight strap.
Also featured on the card is the pro debut of Solomon Dacres, who is a frequent sparring partner of Anthony Joshua.
