Viddal Riley is set to make his highly-anticipated return to the ring later this evening against Seydi Coupe, while over in Saudi Arabia, Carlos Adames and Gerome Warburton will meet under the Zuffa banner.
The 29-year-old will defend his EBU European cruiserweight title for the first time on home soil. The London native won the aforementioned prize back in April after outpointing Mateusz Masternak - a year after defeating Cheavon Clarke for the British gold strap.
A win for Riley later this evening could earn him a crack at some of the top players in the cruiserweight division in 2027. But Coupe will prove to be a tough challenge. The French brawler - like tonight's adversary - is also undefeated and will be itching to score a stunning upset. Also this evening, Carlos Adames and Gerome Warburton will meet in a non-title contest over in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. And so, here is everything you need to know ahead of tonight's action...

Viddal Riley: "It just goes to show the level I am, the level I have been operating at. It is in line with the work I have put in. Everyone is playing catch-up. It was a big statement from Chev and as a by-product it was a big statement from me. I didn’t want another year of my career fighting just once,’ Riley said. ‘I wanted to keep the momentum and as European champion I have a responsibility to defend the belt. With the situation [with the IBF] being messy, I have to hold onto what I have. We spent a lot of the year seeing what is happening with the IBF, so we had to act. I could have sat out by that’s not what I want to do. I will try find out what’s happening after Saturday but Seydi is my only concern for now. It doesn’t matter what else is happening."
