Boxing tonight: TV channel, live stream, fight card and ringwalk times
Fabio Wardley will take on Justis Huni in his hometown of Ipswich for a shot at the interim WBA heavyweight title, but a stacked card brings with it a host of other entertaining fights
The vacant interim WBA heavyweight title will be at stake when Fabio Wardley faces Justis Huni on Saturday. And the former will boast a major advantage as Portman Road, home of his beloved Ipswich Town, plays host to a stacked evening of boxing action.
Both Wardley (18-0-1) and Huni (12-0) will put their undefeated records on the line in pursuit of what would be either fighter's biggest accolade to date. Hometown hero Wardley already holds the Commonwealth and WBA Continental heavyweight belts but seeks to strengthen his bid for a world title come Saturday.
Australian Huni will fight outside his home country for just the third time, hoping to stretch a streak of three consecutive TKO wins. The 26-year-old previously fought on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's Saudi Arabian showdown with Francis Ngannou, where he beat South African Kevin Lerena via unanimous decision.
Eight months have passed since Wardley was last in the ring against Frazer Clarke in a retribution showdown. And the 30-year-old made no mistakes in Riyadh last October when he finished the fight in the first round after the pair drew seven months prior.
Wardley's co-manager, Dillian Whyte, was scheduled to fight on Saturday's bill put pulled out just days out from the card. And Queensberry promoter Frank Warren confirmed the boxer did so after being offer "a big fight in August," which is yet to be revealed.
Nonetheless, there remains plenty of reason to tune in for the punch-up at Portman Road. And Mirror Sport provides all the need-to-know information you need to not miss a minute.
What time does Fabio Wardley vs Justis Huni start in the UK?
Saturday's fights will start with a four-fight preliminary card featuring a host of English prospects. That portion of the evening will start at around 5pm UK time.
Meanwhile, the main card gets underway at 7pm when Lillie Winch and Katerina Dvorakova open proceedings in a featherweight fixture. That will be the first of five fights on the card, culminating in Wardley's title clash against Huni.
The ringwalks for that fight aren't expected to take place until around 10pm, though that could be subject to change. And fans won't want to adjust their televisions considering Wardley ended his last fight against Clarke in less than three minutes.

Read more: Recently speaking to Sky Sports, Grant outlined his stance on Postecoglou, making a key prediction about his future. "I think it is [harsh]," he said. "I get really excited watching Tottenham because I don't know what I'm going to get. "I think he's been terrific.

And your way brought this club the best night it's had in decades. We will have those memories for life. "You trusted me with the captaincy. One of the highest honours of my career. It's been an incredible privilege to learn from your leadership up close, I am a better player and a better person because of you. "Ange Postecoglou, you are a Tottenham Hotspur legend forever. Thank you, mate."

Patrick Stewart offers glimpse into how Rangers will approach first transfer window with Russell Martin and new owners
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PATRICK STEWART has described Rangers as a club with "unfulfilled potential" as he prepares for the first transfer window under a new ownership regime and management team. Russell Martin was confirmed as the Ibrox side's head coach on Thursday, following the arrival of Kevin Thelwell and Dan Purdy as sporting director and technical director. 2 Russell Martin and Patrick Stewart on the day Martin was unveiled as Rangers boss Credit: PA On May 30 the £90million takeover by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises was finally completed after months of negotiations. An initial £20million of investment has been promised and a share issue will follow to help raise more funds. With the Light Blues in Champions League qualifying action on July 22/23 and 29/30, the summer rebuild must start soon. We looked at how Martin could transform Rangers, in particular by recruiting trusted former players. Gers chief Stewart acknowledged there is a lot of ground to be made up on Celtic in the league, but believes Martin has arrived early enough for them to make signings before the Euro qualifiers next month. Speaking in an interview with Rangers TV, he said: 'There is a lot of hard work to be done, just to be clear. I think there always is every pre-season for Rangers because the European qualifiers come so early, so let's not shy away from that. 'That said, we have got Russell in and the transfer window doesn't open for another ten days and the first team don't return for another two weeks, so actually you could look at it glass half full and say we have got him in well in advance of those two key events. 'But let's not kid ourselves, there is a lot of hard work to be done but I know Russell is determined to get stuck into that. 'The potential of Rangers, we know it is unfulfilled at the moment. 'This is a huge club and supporters, players, management and staff, we have all been frustrated at not having achieved the heights. Rangers fans react to news Russell Martin is their new manager 'It feels now though that we are making steps forward and new ownership is a massive step forward. 'My excitement and optimism levels have definitely increased but they were always there because there is so much that is positive about this club.' Stewart was asked how Martin's experience in both Scotland and England during his career will help them in the recruitment process. He said that combining Martin's knowledge with Thelwell's contacts book should lead to positive results in the transfer market. Stewart said that they will pay close attention to the Scottish and English markets, as players there will have an understanding of the British game. But that won't stop them from scouting players further afield - the only condition being that they must ALREADY be suited to playing in Scotland, rather than trying to mould them into the finished product. He said: 'Having an understanding of the Scottish game I would say is a key factor because every league is unique and we can look at some of the fixtures that have to be played as part of the SPFL. 'Every ground has its nuances and every club has its nuances, so somebody that comes in with an understanding of that is a huge asset. 'Equally, when it comes to recruiting players having a knowledge of markets outside of Scotland and players outside of Scotland, and off-the-pitch talent outside of Scotland as well, is a huge advantage. 'So yes, I think we are really fortunate to have somebody who has that Scottish background and also English experience as well." 2 Keep up to date with ALL the latest news and transfers at the Scottish Sun football page
