Vidal Riley and Isaac Chamberlain will finally meet in the highly anticipated All-British Cruiserweight showdown on February 1, live on Sky Sports.
An internal showdown has been brewing for some time as the pair prepare for what could be a defining night in their respective career paths.
Riley took her perfect professional record to 12-0 on Saturday night when she defeated heavyweight Dan Garber in a Natasha Jonas unification clash with Ivana Habazin in Liverpool.

Chamberlain, meanwhile, is 16-3 following a unanimous decision defeat to Jack Massey at Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park in June.
“The paths have crossed now, we can talk, we can fight, it’s a great business,” Riley said after his win on Saturday.
The pair share remarkable unanimous decision victories over Michael Lawal, with Riley impressively overcoming a rib injury en route to a commanding victory earlier this year.

It’s an opportunity for Chamberlain to make a statement against his setback against Massey as he looks to return to the cruiserweight division’s biggest names.
