British welterweights Jack Catterall and Ekow Essuman will meet in the co-main event fight when Chris Eubank Jr faces Conor Benn on 15 November.

Catterall and Essuman are both coming off wins and will hope victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will propel them into world-title contention.

The full undercard for Eubank v Benn 2 has been announced, with a host of British fighters in action, including Adam Azim and Richard Riakporhe.

Recent heavyweight convert Riakporhe faces domestic rival Tommy Welch, who is unbeaten in 16 fights.

Riakporhe has had one fight at heavyweight and, at 35, needs to move quickly to establish himself as a serious contender.

Undefeated Azim, 23, faces Zaur Abdullaev in a light-welterweight contest.

Azim recently signed a new promotional deal with Boxxer as he looks to move into world-title contention in the next 12 months.

Rising super-flyweight prospect Mikie Tallon will take on Londonder Fezan Shahid.

Liverpool's Tallon, 20, is undefeated in 10 fights, while 33-year-old Shahid has four wins, two draws and two defeats since making his debut in 2021.

Sam Gilley and Ishmael Davis will meet in a British and Commonwealth light-middleweight title fight.

Davis is aiming to bounce back after a narrow defeat by Caoimhin Agyarko - his third loss in a row - while Gilley drew with Gideon Onyenani in last outing.
