Background: Luton's Linus versus Battersea's Bentley is set to be a fantastic battle of British boxers. ‘Lightning’ Udofia announced himself on the domestic scene with a points win over Tyler Denny to claim the English Middleweight Title in November 2019. The 28-year-old followed this up with a convincing stoppage win in a tough fight with John Harding Jr. to defend the belt behind closed doors in Milton Keynes before blasting out Xhuljo Vrenozi in three-rounds at the OVO Arena Wembley. Udofia will now attempt to add the British Title to his collection as he faces his toughest career test against the former champion Bentley, who returns to the ring following an emphatic third-round TKO over Sam Evans as he looks to recapture the Lonsdale strap he won when stopping Mark Heffron inside four rounds in November 2020, before losing the belt in his first defence to Felix Cash.
Undercard Highlights: There's plenty of big names on the bill, making this a fantastic undercard. The return of Olympian Josh Kelly (10-1-1, 6KOs) will be a welcome sight to fight fans. He makes his comeback, from defeat to David Avanesyan in their 2021 European title fight, against No.1 ranked Albanian super-welterweight Xhuljo Vrenozi (18-4, 3KOs) over 10-rounds at welterweight.

Predictions: Tim Rickson, BBN Editor – "First of all, I think this is a fantastic fight for the British middleweight belt. Both thoroughly deserve to be crowned champion, but I will have to side with Bentley having been the champion before, possessing those extra championship rounds experience, but also because he is so awkward, accurate and powerful. I think he could catch Udofia at some point and finish the fight off early when he smells blood. Can't wait for this one!"
