Josh Kelly will be looking to delight his supporters as the Sunderland-native fights in his hometown for the very first time as a professional.
Kelly, who boasts a 14-1-1 record, takes on Colombia’s Placido Ramirez at the Beacon of Light as he looks to cap off 2023 on a winning note.
The 29-year-old is on a four-fight winning streak since his sole pro defeat against David Avanesyan back in February 2021.
Kelly’s last outing took place in Newcastle last July as he picked up a unanimous decision over the previously unbeaten Gabriel Alberto Corzo.
In Ramirez, Kelly takes on an experienced campaigner with a 24-3 record, including 17 knockouts.
The Colombian’s latest outing ended as a no-contest away in Albania, though he was on a five-fight winning run before that – with all five coming in 2023.
The event gets underway at 7pm GMT, with the main event expected at around 10pm GMT. Fans can watch the action unfold on DAZN. Below is the full card.
