Lyndon Arthur returns to the ring on Friday when he takes on Boris Crighton in Bolton.
Arthur had been in line to face Braian Suarez for the vacant IBO light heavyweight strap but Crighton had to step in after the Argentinian failed a pre-fight medical.
Arthur is on the path to redemption having been beaten by British rival Anthony Yarde in 2021, but the 31-year-old has been in good form recently, winning his last two inside the distance.
