Posted 2 months ago

British heavyweight Johnny Fisher will face Andriy Rudenko at the Copper Box Arena in London on September 28.

The fight card will feature an all-British world title clash between WBO lightweight champion Rhiannon Dixon and Terri Harper.

These bouts were originally set to support Dalton Smith's cancelled lightweight fight against Jon Fernandez in Sheffield.

Johnny Fisher, who previously headlined at the Copper Box Arena with a one-round knockout of Alen Babic in July, will fight again there.

The 25-year-old Fisher, undefeated with 11 knockouts, will face 40-year-old Andriy Rudenko, a much more experienced opponent.

The 40-year-old Ukrainian Rudenko boasts a record of 36 wins and 7 losses, including defeats to Jared Anderson, Zhilei Zhang, and Hughie Fury.

Rhiannon Dixon, who is undefeated in 10 fights, will defend her WBO lightweight title for the first time after her original defense on August 23 was rescheduled. Dixon, 29, won the title in April.

Terri Harper, 27, is a multiple-weight world champion with 14 wins, 2 losses, and 2 draws. Recently, she drew with Cecilia Braekhus in October but lost by stoppage to Sandy Ryan in March.

Dixon is one of two unbeaten world champions from England, along with WBA featherweight champion Nick Ball.
