Undercard Highlights
A storm is coming to the capital as exciting prospect Caoimhin 'Black Thunder' Agyarko (11-0, 7KO) goes for a second WBA International title, this time a division below at super-welterweight, against experienced former Baltic and Polish champion Lukasz Maciec (28-4-1, 5KO). The 33-year-old took Anthony Fowler the 10-round distance in February this year and has never been stopped.

Background
The rematch takes place over six years on from their 12-round battle for the European Heavyweight Title at the Barclaycard Arena in Hamburg, Germany. It was the Bulgarian boxer who came out on top on that occasion, winning a tough split decision in May 2016 that saw him progress in their IBF World Title Eliminator and claim the vacant European crown for the second time in his career.
British favourite Chisora has since faced some of the biggest names in the Heavyweight division, including WBC World Title challenger Dillian Whyte twice, WBA and IBF World Title challenger Carlos Takam, unified Heavyweight World Champion Oleksandr Usyk and most recently two slugfests with former WBO Champion Joseph Parker.
Two-time World Title challenger Pulev, who’s only losses came against modern legend Wladimir Klitscho in 2014 and former unified king Anthony Joshua in 2020, dominated Jerry Forrest to win a unanimous decision on the Sergey Kovalev vs. Tervel Pulev undercard at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California last month.
Predictions
Tim Rickson, BBN Editor: “Although he provides fans with fun fights, Chisora hasn't won since 2019 and I don't expect that to change. Pulev may be 41 now, but he only has one defeat on his record over the last eight years, which he blames on COVID. These two met six years ago now, with Pulev winning on a split, with scores of 116-112 and 118-110 in his favour. I still believe these two are quite closely matched and it's interesting to learn they are 17th and 18th in the WBC rankings. I think it could be another points win to Pulev. 'WAR' hasn't been stopped in any of his three defeats, so I think this could reach the final bell.”
