THE UNDERCARD

-

POWERPUNCH­ING heavyweigh­t DANIEL DUBOIS, 4-0 (4), goes for the vacant Southern Area strap in only his fifth pro fight. So far, the longest any of his opponents have lasted is four minutes and 41 seconds. The hulking 20-year-old should bag another early victory against Brixton’s AJ CARTER, 8-3 (6), who has been stopped on two occasions. Also over 10, Southampto­n’s heavy-handed JOE PIGFORD, 13-0 (12), faces Greenrigg southpaw KIERAN SMITH, 10-0 (5), in a battle between tall, unbeaten superwelte­rweights. Pigford can take this one, but he may be forced to go the distance. Strapping Ilford lightheavy­weight ANTHONY YARDE, 12-0 (11) – the reigning Southern Area king – won’t need the full 12 rounds to see off Hungary’s NORBERT NEMESAPATI, 25-6 (18).
