The Briton contests a middleweight encounter on the undercard of Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol's undisputed bout at the Kingdom Arena in Saudi Arabia on Saturday.

The latter, who was due to face Eubank Jr. in 2022 before failing a pair of doping tests, pushed the former and launched a verbal tirade against him earlier in the day.
But as he came in at 159.12lbs - the same as Szeremeta - the 35-year-old refocused on the task at hand, taking off his shirt to show off a spectacular pre-fight physique.
"That little insect is a coward," he said. "He showed his true colours. I'm not worried about Conor Benn. I've got to deal with this tough opponent in Kamil Szeremeta."
