Josh Padley defends his EBU European super featherweight title against Aqib Fiaz tonight, Saturday, June 6. The 12-round contest headlines the Matchroom Boxing card, live from Utilita Arena Sheffield in Sheffield, England.

  • Former world title challenger Padley (18-1, 6 KOs) makes the first defense of his European belt. The 30-year-old Doncaster native claimed the vacant title by second-round TKO against Jaouad Belmehdi in January.
  • Fiaz (14-1, 2 KOs) looks to dethrone Padley and secure his third win in a row. The 26-year-old native of Oldham, Lancashire, defeated Alex Murphy by unanimous decision last July and Lydon Chircop by third-round TKO last February.

The Padley vs Fiaz clash replaced the world title fight between unified WBA and WBC flyweight champion Ricardo Sandoval (27-2, 18 KOs) of Montclair, California, and Galal Yafai (9-0, 7 KOs, 1 NC) of the UK. The bout, which was scheduled to headline the event, was canceled after Yafai suffered an injury in training.
