The card features Super Middleweight Martin Murray (31-2-1) in the co-main event as he takes on Jose Miguel Torres (31-6). Also on the card is popular cruiserweight Tony Bellew and undefeated Super Flyweight prospect Khalid Yafai, so look back closer to fight time to see if additional odds have popped up for this 12-fight card.
Also on Saturday, 43-year-old heavyweight Shannon Briggs (58-6-1) goes for his eighth win in a row as he faces Michael Marrone (21-4) in a 12-round bout.
