Reece Bellotti targets the Commonwealth title on the latest NXTGEN bill with Natasha Jonas, Ted Cheeseman and Isaac Chamberlain also in action.
Unbeaten featherweight Bellotti challenges Commonwealth champion Jason Cunningham at York Hall in Bethnal Green this Friday night, live on Sky Sports, at the top of another NXTGEN card filled with exciting talent.
Jason Cunningham vs Reece Bellotti
After an impressive education in the professional ranks, Bellotti makes a major step-up against Cunningham, a seasoned champion who has claimed the Commonwealth title in two weight divisions.
Bellotti continued his rise up the rankings with a stoppage of Jamie Speight in July, earning him the WBC international title, but he is facing the sternest test of his 10-fight unbeaten career.
Cunningham previously held the Commonwealth title at bantamweight, then moved up to take the featherweight version with a points win over Ben Jones in April, and has racked up six straight wins since a brave points defeat to Kal Yafai.
Natasha Jonas vs Marianna Gulyas
Jonas can maintain the explosive start to her paid career as she targets a third straight stoppage win over Ana Starovoitova.
The former Team GB boxer halted Bojana Libiszewska last month to fuel talk of a future fight with Irish rival Katie Taylor.
She next faces Marianna Gulyas, a well-travelled Hungarian with the experience of 40 fights.
British super-flyweight champion Charlie Edwards also appears on the undercard, along with Harlem Eubank, another member of the famous boxing family, and Craig 'Spider' Richards.
Isaac Chamberlain vs Ossie Jervier
Chamberlain will be hoping to send out a warning to Lawrence Okolie with another knockout victory.
The unbeaten cruiserweight made short work of Ryan Crawford in July, despite a weight disadvantage, as he ruthlessly completed a second-round stoppage.
Chamberlain has been embroiled in a war of words with Okolie and victory over Jervier will keep him on course for a grudge fight in 2018.
Ted Cheeseman vs Aristides Quintero
Cheeseman is one of Britain's hottest young prospects, with seven knockouts on his perfect pro record, and he overpowered Matthew Ryan in three rounds to secure the English super-welterweight title in July.
There was a bizarre ending to the 22-year-old's last outing as opponent Francesco Lezzi was disqualified for pushing the referee after being floored in the second round.
Cheeseman can end this latest fight with his own destructive fists as he takes on Quintero, a Spain-based Panamanian.
Watch NXTGEN, featuring Reece Bellotti, Natasha Jonas, Charlie Edwards and more, live from York Hall, from 8.00pm, Friday, on Sky Sports Action.
