Mikael Lawal vs Isaac Chamberlain will top the bill at York Hall as BOXXER Fight Night goes ahead on Saturday after the postponement of Joshua Buatsi vs Dan Azeez.

Buatsi's light-heavyweight fight against Azeez at The O2 was postponed on Tuesday after Azeez suffered a back injury, but Lawal's British cruiserweight title clash with Chamberlain is the new main event as the undercard fights will now be staged at the historic venue in Bethnal Green, live on Sky Sports.

Saturday's new headline for the British cruiserweight title is one of the most keenly-anticipated domestic clashes of the year.

The highly-anticipated showdown between Joshua Buatsi and Dan Azeez will now be rescheduled to a new date at The O2 in London.

The bout between the No 1 and No 2 ranked light-heavyweights had been postponed due to an injury suffered by Azeez in his final training session.

A date for the rescheduled world title final eliminator will be announced shortly.

"We’re still bitterly disappointed about having to postpone the main event due to the injury sustained by Dan Azeez,” said BOXXER founder and CEO Ben Shalom.

"It’s clear from the widespread upset and frustration, just how big a fight this is. We’ve spoken to both teams and everyone is committed to rescheduling the world title final eliminator. We’re working on announcing a new date at The O2 as soon as possible.

"For the remaining fights, the easiest option would have been to cancel the whole card, but that wouldn’t have been fair to the fighters or to the fans hoping to see them.

"I’m extremely proud of our team’s hard work in ensuring these fights get to go ahead. Not only can we look forward to a rescheduled Joshua Buatsi vs Dan Azeez at the O2 in the near future, but also four incredible fights live on Sky Sports on Saturday night in what will be a hugely atmospheric York Hall."
