Scotland’s Lewis Benson (12-2, 2 KOs) and Londoner Mikey Sakyi (8-2, 4 KOs) will collide on the undercard at York Hall on November 22 – unless there’s a withdrawal that will see one of the two hopefuls enter the competition proper. Should one of the eight confirmed entrants for the event be unable to compete, a coin toss will be held to decide whether ‘Kid Caramel’ or Sakyi is handed the life-changing opportunity.

Press Conference Quotes
“There are many other fighters that are world-class level entering the tournament, but I believe I’m one of the best in the world and this is the only way I’m going to prove it, by entering the tournament and coming in first place. I’m confident I will win because I think I am the hungriest fighter in the tournament. Nobody works as hard as me and I don’t think there’s anyone that wants to win as much as I do.”
