Unbeaten British prospects such as Muhammad Mokaev and Christian Leroy Ducan also feature on the bill, so here is all you need to know about tonight's fights...

Edwards: “He’s 36 years old, been in many tough fights. He thought he could never be beaten and then to be sparked like that, that does have a mental thing on you. I know he pretends like he doesn’t care and he was happy he got knocked out because of the pressures as champion is too hard and ‘I’m happy I got knocked out’ but for me that doesn’t make any sense. It goes down as you out cold, head shot and that’s all that matters."

Usman: "Nothing changes for me, I know what I come to do. I got presented with an opportunity to be able to fall as a champion and rise again. That's the biggest thing for me. From the beginning of my career to where am I now if you've seen all of my performances, how much do I need to change? I go so hard preparing for these fights to the point where I have that much of a gap on everybody, this camp has just been about correcting little mistakes."
