The 25-year-old Dominica-based ‘Punisher’ will look to continue his winning ways against the seasoned 41-year-old ‘Mauler’.

Former world rater and European champion, Howard ‘Battersea Bomber’ Eastman (46(37)-12(2)-0) will take on national light middleweight titlist, Mark Austin (9(1)-5(2)-1) in a 154-pound fight scheduled for eight rounds in the co-feature.

New sensations, Laured Stewart and Richard Williamson will also be in action.

Stewart, fresh off his dominant debut victory against Anson Green earlier this month will take on journeyman Eversley Brown in a four-round middleweight bout.

Match makers of the event will pit Williamson against Green in a lightweight affair also scheduled for four rounds.

The professional bouts are scheduled to become official today at the contract signing at the head office of the GBBC on the Avenue of the Republic at 14:00hrs.

Names of the pugilists who will make up the amateur segment of the card will be announced subsequently.
