Boxing tonight: Everything you need to know including TV channel, stream and start time

Dave Allen and Jaron Ennis may be at opposite ends of the superstar spectrum, but both have significant bouts tonight. Allen is set to face the towering Russian Arslanbek Makhmudov in front of a crowd of over 8,000 in Sheffield, with a victory potentially propelling him into a massive heavyweight clash with Deontay Wilder. Despite experiencing several low points in his career, Allen has trained hard for tonight's main event.

Later, in Philadelphia, Ennis steps up to super-welterweight after reigning as world champion at 147lb. He faces Uisma Lima in his first match at 154lb, aiming for a win on his journey towards much larger fights in the future.

Dave Allen said: "People keep asking me what's next, but this is my world title fight. This is the biggest fight of my career. I don't fight for the money. I don't fight for any of that stuff. The money is great, it is what it is, I don't see it anyway - my Mrs spends it I never see it. I want the respect now. I want people to say that I'm a top-class heavyweight. I have to beat this man to do that."

Arslanbek Makhmudov added: "I am very happy to be here. This is my first time in the UK, I am very excited. Thank you very much. This fight is a big opportunity for me, first of all.

Jaron Ennis said: "He's definitely a good fighter for sure, I've watched him and I like what I see. But there are levels, though. He's fighting those guys over there, they don't have my skill to go with my power and my ability. I'm on a whole different level. When when he actually gets in there with me on Saturday night, he going to be like, 'yo, he is a lot faster than I thought, stronger than I thought, slicker'. There are levels, and he knows that, so we're going to see. Make sure y'all come out Saturday night, you are going to see a spectacular knockout. I win this fight; however, I want to do it. I'm not here to play. I'm coming."

Uisma Lima responded: "They know I can beat him. I know he's an elite fighter, but I am too. I have everything I need; ring IQ, footwork, I am fast, I have strength, I have an offence, and I am in the best shape of my life, I can do everything he can do."
