Elsewhere, Lawrence Okolie won the commonwealth belt for a second time with a fourth round knockout of Wadi Camacho, Joshua Buatsi won the British title with an impressive third round stoppage of Liam Conroy and Lewis Ritson returned from his first career defeat with a points win at super-lightweight against German Benitez.

Angel Moreno isn't here to play, and earlier this week wanted everyone to know that...

One of Britain's biggest boxing prospects is fighting for the British title tonight.

Joshua Buatsi is known to be selective with his words and explained his outside of the ring approach.

"There's something in silence. Everyone can talk, but if someone is quiet, you don't know what they're thinking," said Buatsi as he reflected on the brash claims and stinging insults that usually precede a fight.

"I think that's the most dangerous thing, if you don't know what a man is thinking.

"I think solely whoever is British champion at the time, unless someone has got a world title - that makes you No 1 in the country.

"Once I have that belt, I don't want to hear anything from anyone. Unless you've got that belt and you're in that division, don't talk about anything else."

Buatsi weighed in looking in fantastic shape

Tick. Tock.

Lawrence Okolie and Wadi Camacho are undergoing final preparations ahead of their commenwealth and British title fight.

[23 March 2019 18:34 · Adam Hamdani]

Speaking of that, Okolie earlier this week spoke and said that he's already looking beyond the test of Camacho.

He has big goals in sight.

There's another card on tonight in Leicester - and look who's there.

Tyson Fury's younger brother Tommy is on the card and the former unified heavyweight champion is there to support him.

That was quick!

Fury gets the first knockout win of his career, stopping Callum Ide a minute and a half into the first round.

Tyson's younger brother moves to 2-0.

Here we go.

On his way to the ring is Lewis Ritson, who will be hoping his step up to super-lightweight will return him to winning ways.

Live updates to follow.

Round one: 

Good round for Ritson. His body work is effective and is chopping Benitez down punch by punch but the Argentine is giving it his best go and comes back with a couple of right hands.

A Ritson round, who looks the far bigger of the two men.
