Preview: David Adeleye steps up to ten rounds versus Dmytro Bezus

British heavyweight David Adeleye (10-0-0, 9KOs) is set for the ten-round distance for the first time when he takes on Ukraine’s undefeated Dmytro Bezus (10-0-0, 5KOs) on Friday night.

Bethnal Green’s iconic York Hall leisure centre will host the Frank Warren-promoted card as prospect Adeleye steps up for his first fight against an unbeaten opponent.

The 26-year-old halted Mexico’s Elvis Garcia inside two-rounds last time out to secure his tenth win in as many outings.

Domestic title shots grow nearer for the Londoner providing he continues his winning streak beyond this weekend.

Bezus, despite having yet tasted defeat, has not faced any opponent of note as he heads to the capital on Friday night.

Respect between two HUGE heavy-hitters 🤝💥
