Matchroom have confirmed their series of ‘Fight Camp’ boxing shows to take place in August, culminating in the heavyweight clash between DIllian Whyte and Alexander Povetkin.

Eddie Hearn will host four boxing events beginning on 1 August, based in the gardens of Matchroom’s head office in Brentwood, Essex.

Four fight nights, each consisting of five bouts, will be held over consecutive weekends from August 1 with a number of domestic title fights and one world title fight now confirmed.

The opening show, Matchroom’s first card since March, will be headlined by a super-welterweight clash between Ted Cheeseman and Sam Eggington.
