Its week 10 & the final round of group fixtures before the knockout stages. GB & Ukraine currently sit 3rd & 4th respectively in group B & a win will effectively guarantee GB a 3rd place finish.

Ivan Ilnytskyy is 22 & in his second season of WSB with a record of 1-4. Selby has won all 4 of his WSB fights so far & has been in excellent form, barely losing a round.

Vasyl Lomachenko is the best amateur in the world & beat Maxwell in the corresponding fixture earlier this year.

Mytrofanov is the #2 MW in Ukraine, (after world champion Kytrov) is in his 2nd year in the WSB & has a record of 4(1)-2.

Solonenko is 20 & in his first year in the WSB, having lost his 2 previous fights.

Usyk is the HW (91kg) world champion & has moved up to take on the super-heavies in this years WSB. He has a record of 2(1)-0 & beat GB's Uaine Fa on points in January.

 

Yeah it should be good, especially Evans-Mytrofanov & Joyce-Usyk.

I really like the WSB format, hopefully it catches on & gets more popular.

 

You should be able to watch Joyce-Usyk live, assuming thats on last.

It usually gets uploaded to youtube fairly soon after the event

 

Yeah, coverage starts at 2am.
