Boxing fans have two solid cards to sink their teeth into tonight. The first, over in London is an excellent prospects showcase presented by BOXXER featuring highly rated up-and-comers Adam Azim, Viddal Riley and Caroline Dubois.
Azim takes the main event slot against undefeated Nicaraguan Santos Reyes following an ultra-impressive display against Rylan Charlton last time out. Meanwhile, across the pond, Rey Vargas and O’Shaquie Foster battle it out for the vacant WBC super-featherweight title in San Antonio. Vargas is hoping to become a three-weight world champion after previously picking up straps at super bantamweight and featherweight.

Quotes
Riley told Express Sport exclusively: “Once I get your name, that’s it, you are the victim. That’s how I look at it. You are the victim. You are in the way of what I’m trying to do. You are not the pinnacle of where I’m trying to go. And if I don’t defeat you and give you all my energy, I’m not going to get to where I’m trying to go.
“So, when that name gets announced and the camp begins in preparation for that person, you are the world champion, you might as well be the GOAT because that’s how I’m prepping, that’s what my mind is locked in on. On fight night you’ll see the results of what we’ve been putting in at the gym. And once again, people will say, ‘yo, this guy is one of the best in the country’.”
