British fighters Joe Cordina, Raven Chapman, and Jack Massey will all compete for world titles on October 12 in Saudi Arabia.

Welsh boxer Joe Cordina will step up to lightweight to challenge unbeaten WBC champion Shakur Stevenson. Raven Chapman will fight Skye Nicolson for the WBC featherweight title, both being undefeated.

Jack Massey, 31, will face Australian IBF cruiserweight champion Jai Opetaia.

These matches are part of the undercard for the undisputed light-heavyweight title bout between Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol. Also featured is a heavyweight rematch between Fabio Wardley and Frazer Clarke.

Wardley, 29, will defend his title against Clarke, 33, after their March fight ended in a split-decision draw. This will be the second British heavyweight title fight in Saudi Arabia, following Wardley’s win over David Adeleye in October 2023.
