Chamberlain: Finally, this is over, I'll knock Lawal out.

Mikael Lawal and Isaac Chamberlain have stepped up to be the main event, shown live on Sky Sports on Saturday night, in place of Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez.




At York Hall in Bethnal Green, they will compete for the British and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles.




Neither Lawal nor Chamberlain could stand apart from the conflict. Both parties have waited a very long time to end their conflict.

Lawal had to withdraw due to a medical concern because they were initially scheduled to fight in May. Since then, Chamberlain has been poking him mercilessly, and their animosity has only intensified.




Lawal affirmed, "He's not making me feel tense. "It's all irrelevant, on Saturday we're going to fight."




He is confident that he can defeat Chamberlain. "If I land, definitely," he said. Simply said, I'm going to beat him.










"I just find a way to win."Chamberlain retaliated angrily, "I'll knock you out." "It's going to be big, finally all of this comes to a close on Saturday and I'll be crowned the new British and Commonwealth cruiserweight champion."

Saving the show is a point they agree on. "I'm thankful the show's still on," Lawal said. "It's finally my time. All the talking this guy's been doing. We can finally lay it to rest.

"I've come a long way, I'm enjoying the journey."




Another well-matched Commonwealth title fight on the card sees Sam Gilley boxing Louis Greene at super-welter.




"He's strong, come forward, he can punch. But that's his main game plan," Gilley said. "I've got to outsmart him, I've got to out box him.




"My last four opponents, all four have been on the floor so he's got to be careful as well."




Benwell's Joe Laws stepped in at short notice to box Michael Hennessy at middleweight.

"I'm taking this chance. I'm coming for a fight. Where I'm from we take nothing lying down," Laws declared. "Preparation hasn't been great but I'm [definitely] winning.




"I'm coming for everything."




Laws promised: "Fireworks. Love us or hate us, you will remember the Benwell bomber.




"I'm here to fight," he continued. "What a mistake, I'm here to upset the apple cart."




Although the fight has just been made two weeks out, they are familiar with each other.

"I've sparred him," Laws added. "I made him cry!"




Hennessy though maintained: "I do remember - target practice."




But Laws insisted: "I don't know what I'm bringing, but I'm bringing it!"




Olympic bronze medallist Karriss Artingstall fights Canada's experienced Vanessa Bradford, a former world title challenger.




"This is the pro game and I'm excited to show her what the pros is all about on Saturday night," Bradford warned.




Artingstall hit back: "She's not going to teach me anything in the pro ring. Boxing's boxing.




"On Saturday night I want to show what I have been working on, I do work very hard. I just want to show my skills."
