    Who you got? I haven't seen much of Umar Sadiq but followed Zak since the amateurs and he's one of the best prospects in Britain in my opinion.
    Sadiq comes across annoying on his vlog and looks as though he opted to box for Nigeria because he wasn't good enough for GB.
    Be interested to see other opinions on the outcome of this fight.

    Had a bit of back and forth with Sadiq on social media when he was interacting with fans – seems a nice fella.

    Also haven’t seen all that much of him and I know you can’t tell too much from training footage, but from what I’ve seen I think Chelli will go through him.

    Great to see two undefeated fighters going at it with only 3-4 fights under there belt.

    Good fight for both. win or lose, they will learn more here in 1 fight in comparison to 15 fights against Bulgarian shower curtain ring salesmen.

    Saw the bit of aggro between Umar and Zak Sr on IFL this morning.

    Chelli right now is just a sparring hypejob. Seems to have decent power but is totally untested at a pro level. I’m supporting Umar because his name sake plays for Rangers

    Few whispers that Chelli has been given trouble in sparring in the lead up to this fight, but unsure who by. That said the whispers where from the Sadiq camp so who knows..

    Going with chelli.
    Not a bad fight tbf, both early in their careers and both coming to win.
    Corcoran vs Gortan for the British also on this card
    Some other names on, Gorman etc not much in the way of competition tho

    I’m going with Chelli. Haven’t seen much of him but from what I’ve seen of Umar I’m underwhelmed.

    Good fight this, probably the only one I’m interested in tbh. I have Saqid on points- Chelli looks powerful, but very wild.

    Chelli is 20yo and has had 1 fight in the last year and then this lol.

    What a stupid career move. He could have gone through the levels by now and been truly ready but now it's sink or swim.

    I hope the winner gets a crack @ Lerrone Richards.

    I want Chelli to win because I think Sadiq is a ****. Chelli is so young he could be pretty sharp one day.

    Ffs wasn't Frank supposed to be putting on more shows and getting his fighters active.

    Even Lerrone Richards has only fought once this year
