Daniel Dubois and Filip Hrgovic are effectively fighting for the right to face Anthony Joshua tonight.
The heavyweight rivals had hoped to be meeting for the IBF world title in Saudi Arabia. But no decision has been made as to whether to strip Oleksandr Usyk following his win over Tyson Fury last month. Hrgovic has been the mandatory challenger for almost two years but will have to wait even longer for his shot.
That could come in September against Joshua at Wembley for the vacant title - if he can overcome London's Dubois tonight. Hard-hitting Dubois rebounded from his own defeat by Usyk by stopping Jarrell Miller last year. And he knows he is 12 rounds away from a huge all-British showdown with Joshua.
This fight forms part of Eddie Hearn's clash with Frank Warren with Hrgovic representing Hearn against long-time Warren fighter Dubois. Here is everything you need to know about tonight's fights...

Daniel Dubois : "I'm ready to fight, he’s ready to fight me. I can’t take no more easy steps, this is the level I need to be at and I’m ready for the fight. We have a bit of history in sparring but that was seven years ago, I'm here for the fight on Saturday and I'm going to knock him out. I'm ready for him
Filip Hrgovic : "I feel great, I am glad that he called me out and he wants to fight me. I was calling for top heavyweights and big names for the last few years it's a really good fight for me. He’s a good name, a good boxer and I can’t wait for Saturday. I have much more experience, a long amateur career and I’ve gone through more than him."
