Anthony Joshua MBE is set to replace World Title challenger Frankie Gavin on the bill at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham on May 9, live on Sky Sports.

The 25 year old will join a star-studded line-up as Kal Yafai faces Rey Megrino for the WBC Silver Flyweight title, and world-rated Middleweight Matthew Macklin boxes in Birmingham for the first time in almost five years as he looks to bounce back from defeat to Jorge Sebastian Heiland.

Unbeaten Kal’s brother Gamal will also continue his rise in the pro ranks while all-action Stourbridge youngster Sam Eggington is hunting a major title bout after his brilliant win over Shayne Singleton in Hull on March 7.
