Amateur sensation Josh Leather is building up to his big professional debut on the star-studded grand opening of the Copper Box Arena on Saturday 21st September.

The 21-year-old from Teeside kicks off his pro-career at welterweight in a four-rounder on the undercard of the big British Middleweight title showdown between champion Billy Joe Saunders and rival John Ryder, plus stars Dereck Chisora, Frankie Gavin, Paul Butler and Liam Walsh all in title action, live and exclusive on BoxNation (Sky Ch. 437/****** Ch. 546).
