Boxing fans will be treated to an all-British middleweight title fight this Friday as Linus Udofia and Denzel Bentley do battle for the vacant British middleweight title.
Udofia enters the bout undefeated as he holds a record of 17-0-0, and has worked his way up the rankings in a career spanning over six years. In 2019, Udofia won the English title via majority decision over Tyler Denny. In his last bout, Udofia stopped Xhuljo Vrenozi in three rounds resulting in being mandated to fight for the British title.
But standing in his way is someone that has already experienced this belt round his waist. Bentley built up an impressive 13-0 record before facing fellow middleweight prospect Mark Heffron. Their first bout ended in a draw, but the stakes were raised when Liam Williams vacated the British Middleweight title, in which Bentley won via TKO in the fourth round.
