Viddal Riley vs Cheavon Clarke
Next up we have a fight for the British cruiserweight title.
It should be an interesting as it is Tottenham versus Arsenal.
Even more apt that it is taking place at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
This one is a tough one to call for a winner.
Clarke is walking on to an Arsenal song, he is lucky the stadium is quite empty or he could have been fighting on his way to the ring.

'The Gentleman' gets convincing victory
Chris Billam-Smith went the distance in his fight with Brandon Glanton on the undercard this evening.
As both boxers waited for the judges' scorecard, Glanton's corner were not showing the confidence of people thinking they had done enough to win the fight.
Billam-Smith got a unanimous decision and a victory that should get his career back on a positive path.

Welcome to Anthony Yarde vs Lyndon Arthur
Tonight we will see the outcome of this much-awaited trilogy as the pair see who will be thrusting themselves into world title contention once again.
Yarde has had an impressive career to date, 26-3 (24 KOs), but will feel that is a score to be settled in the ring this evening.
Arthur has a similarly impressive record, 24-2 (16 KOs), and will be looking to utilise his jab once again as a major tactic to get a positive result against his opponent in this trilogy fight.
He will have a point to prove as Yarde battered him in the rematch after his victory, getting knocked out in the fourth round.
Since their last meeting, Yarde was stopped by Artur Beterbiev and Arthur was schooled by Dmitry Bivol in 2023.

Viktor Gyokeres lists five reasons he chose Arsenal as Gunners finally complete transfer
Arsenal have confirmed the transfer of Viktor Gyokeres from Sporting CP and the Sweden international can't wait to get to work under Mikel Arteta in the Premier League Viktor Gyokeres simply felt that Arsenal were the right club for him to take the next step in his career and is relishing the prospect of giving supporters something to cheer this season. The striker completed a £63.7million transfer and has committed to a long term deal at the Emirates following his move from Sporting CP. Gyokeres, 27, was among the most talked about players of the summer having been linked to a series of clubs. But a transfer proved far from easy as he fell out with Portuguese champions Sporting over the fee he would be permitted to leave for. Arsenal eventually came to an agreement for his signature and ended their search for a goalscorer having opted to move for Gyokeres over RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. And it appears Gyokeres did not require much convincing to provide his signature to the Gunners. The Sweden international, who bagged 54 goals last season, spoke effusively of why he committed to north London and listed reasons from the impact of Mikel Arteta and Andrea Berta to the strength of the club and their style and Arsenal's history and fanbase. "I just felt that it was the right club for me," he said after signing. "What I heard from Mikel and Andrea when I was speaking with them, and just what I've seen in the past years, how they've been playing football. When I was playing against Arsenal last season, I could really feel it was a very strong team and very difficult to play against. "That made me choose Arsenal, and of course all the history the club has and the massive fanbase. It's been amazing to see all the support that they have already given me before I even arrived. That's what it's all about. It's going to be very nice to see them in the stadiums as well." Unsurprisingly, Arsenal's new no.14's mind is already on finding the back of the net. After struggling in his previous spell in the Premier League with Brighton, Gyokeres wants to put things right. "I always want to score,' he said. 'To be a part of this club and to score in this kit and with this badge in front of all the supporters, I can't wait. It will be an amazing feeling. "I started here [in England], it feels like a long time ago. I think I've improved a lot since then. Now I want to prove myself for real and perform together with the team. "It's a big honour to play for your country, and then to score goals for them is amazing. When I played at Sporting, I scored a few goals in the Champions League so I feel that I can be on that level as well. Now to come here to a club on Arsenal's level, I think it's going to help me perform even better with all the amazing players in this team. I'm really excited to get going."
