Dillian Whyte vs. Jermaine Franklin undercard
Fabio Wardley vs. Nathan Gorman
The co-main event will see Fabio Wardley vs. Nathan Gorman for the vacant British heavyweight title. Making his pro debut in 2017, Wardley (14-0) has won all thirteen of his fights via knockout. In 2020, he beat Simon Vallily to win the English heavyweight title. He defended the belt a year later against Nick Webb. Wardley last fought in July, beating Chris Healey.
“I’m buzzing to be fighting for the British Title, I’ve had my eyes set on this belt for so long and I can’t wait to get my hands on it,” said Wardley. “Nathan Gorman’s a good fighter, but nothing is going to stop me from checking off this next milestone of my career. I thrive under the pressure of big fights like this, I live for it, there’ll be no better feeling than standing over him with my hand raised. I take my opportunities when they come, I’m not going to need any second chances like he did.”
Gorman (19-1) made his pro debut in 2015. A WBC International Silver heavyweight champion, Gorman fought and lost for the British heavyweight title in 2019 against Daniel Dubois. Following the loss, he won three in a row, including a TKO win over Tomas Salek in June for the IBF International heavyweight title.

“It’s my second opportunity fighting for the British Title, so I’ve got to take it with both hands and this time it isn’t going anywhere other than back home with me,” said Gorman. “It’s against Fabio Wardley, and I know I’ll be facing the best Wardley that has ever entered that ring. Unfortunately for him, that will be met with the best Nathan Gorman, who is improving every second he spends in that gym.”
