Opening up “Fight Camp” on Saturday, August 1 will be Sam Eggington defending his IBF International Super-Welterweight Title against Ted Cheeseman. Eggington (28-6) is on a four-fight win streak dating back to the middle of 2019. His last fight was a retirement-win against Daniel Urbanski in November. He beat Orlando Fiordigiglio for the title in September of last year.

Cheeseman (15-2-1) is 1-2-1 in his last four fights. He lost to Scott Fitzgerald in his last bout in October via unanimous decision following a split decision draw against Kieron Conway.

The undercard features:

• James Tennyson (26-3) v. Gavin Gwynne for the British Lightweight Title
• Jordan Gill (24-1) v. Reece Bellotti (14-3)
