Headlining the event will be Clarke and TKV.<\/p>\n
Clarke won bronze at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics and enjoyed a decorated amateur career, which included Commonwealth Games gold in 2018 and the 2015 national championships.<\/p>\n
Known as ‘Big Fraze’, Clarke turned professional in 2022 and fought for the British title in March 2024, drawing with Fabio Wardley.<\/p>\n
Tshikeva, widely known as ‘TKV’, enters the contest with a record of eight wins and two defeats since he turned professional, also in 2022.<\/p>\n
TKV suffered disappointment earlier this year when his British title challenge against David Adeleye ended in controversy.<\/p>\n
The British heavyweight belt has a lot of history, with past holders including Henry Cooper, Lennox Lewis, Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua.<\/p>\n
Kent fighter Francesca Hennessy is the co-main event and will take on Czech Fabiana Bytyqi in a ten round bantamweight bout.<\/p>\n
Hennessy, daughter of British promoter Mick Hennessy, has one stoppage on her record, in her pro debut in 2023.<\/p>\n
“I’m not thinking she’s a walk in the park,” Hennessy told BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour.<\/p>\n
“I truly believe I’m gonna put on my best performance and a lot of people are gonna be shocked.”<\/p>\n
Bytyqi has two defeats to her name, as well as two draws, but has never been stopped in 26 fights.<\/p>\n
The undercard fights include Jack Massey v Ivan Gabriel in the cruiserweight, Bobby Dalton v Joel Kudoa for the English welterweight title and Bradley Goldsmith v Jordan Dujon in the middleweight.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
