Dacres continues to land the heavier strikes, mixing in hooks and uppercuts well, but Sirenko is undeterred.

The Ukrainian continues to bear down on the Briton, and his jab looks pretty stern.

Cheers around the stadium, as Usyk’s arrival is shown on the big screen! He was largely booed at the weigh-in yesterday.

Ten rounds scheduled here.

Both men stand orthodox. A physical start, with some heavy body work in a few clinches. Sirenko aims to hold the centre of the ring.

No hesitance behind the Sirenko right hand; he’s happy throwing overhands and hooks, with little set-up beyond the jab.

Meanwhile, Dacres is favouring the left hook. Oh! Lovely rear uppercut, though, to get Sirenko’s attention!

An overhand right by Dacres draws an “ooo” from the crowd, which is starting to fill out at Wembley.

He’s landed some good stuff, and he’s working in the left hook to the body nicely.

The question is whether he can sustain this level, as Sirenko continues to keep him moving backwards. It’s a grinding pressure.

There are three Ukrainian vs British bouts tonight, including the main event…

One of the other two is up next, as Vladyslav Sirenko faces Solomon Dacres at heavyweight.

Britain’s Dacres (9-1, 3 KOs) was stopped in the first round last time out, as David Adeleye handed the “Meal Deal” his first pro loss.

If Dacres is to bounce back tonight, he’ll have to hand Sirenko (22-0, 19 KOs) his first defeat as a pro.

Here are just some of the heavyweights to have held the undisputed titles in the sport’s glamour division:

Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazer, Lennox Lewis, Mike Tyson, Oleksandr Usyk of course…

It is not an especially big club, but every boxer in it will go down as a legend – or already has done.

How will Dubois be feeling once he gets to Wembley?

Massive stakes tonight – not just the undisputed heavyweight titles, but the chance for revenge on Usyk, and the opportunity to become the first pro to beat the modern great.

Aadam Hamed def. Ezequiel Gregores via decision (40-36).

The referee-judge gives Hamed every round, and rightfully so. With that, he stays unbeaten!

More activity from Hamed in this round, but none of his offence has been especially incisive.

A more aggressive approach from Hamed, who gets stuck in with lead uppercuts.

He does eat a few hooks, though, and he looks a little agitated when he does, covering up but also stepping away somewhat awkwardly.

Not the most scintillating showing from Prince Naseem’s son, but he will get the win, and that’s all that matters.

Four rounds scheduled here.

Hamed stands southpaw and presses forward, backing up his orthodox opponent.

Lots of jabs from Hamed, not all of them landing. Gregores with some occasional winging shots, which the Briton sees coming from a mile off.

Hamed’s father is shouting instructions from ringside. Perhaps Prince Naseem wants to see a bit more aggression from his son.

When Gregores leaps into range, Hamed’s instinct is to evade and make the Argentine miss, but he’s not been so keen on throwing counters yet.

Next up is a welterweight fight between Argentina’s Ezequiel Gregores, who is escorted to the ring by a man with an umbrella, and Aadam Hamed – the son of British boxing legend “Prince” Naseem Hamed!

Here comes Hamed, also provided with an umbrella! As he gets to the ring, his shoes are wiped dry as well.

A fair few fans are sporting ponchos down on the floor…

The first fight of the night is in the books!

Lasha Guruli overcomes James Francis in their super-lightweight bout, winning in the fifth round of a scheduled six.

The stoppage comes via retirement, actually two seconds into the round.

Francis’s team used the full minute between rounds to evaluate their boxer, and overran the allotted time before calling this one off.
