Another solid domestic UK clash will join a card chock-full of them. Matchroom announced today that unbeaten welterweights Chris Kongo and Michael McKinson will meet on the March 6th Alexander Povetkin-Dillian Whyte 2 DAZN card. !
Kongo (12-0, 7 KO) earned the biggest win of his career last August by knocking out Luther Clay before Povetkin’s and Whyte’s first meeting. He later made clear his desire to challenge Conor Benn for the British title, but “The Destroyer” went on to beat Sebastian Formella instead and is gearing up to face Samuel Vargas in April.

All of the bills will be shown on Sky Sports in the UK, aside from the Povetkin-Whyte II card, which is set to be televised on Sky Sports Box Office. US broadcast duties are handled by DAZN.
Each of the UK shows are expected to take place at the same venue. The exact setting is yet to be finalised, though it is probable that an arena in London will be selected.
“Previously we’ve been to Milton Keynes, Peterborough, Wembley – we could go anywhere really,” explained Matchroom chief Eddie Hearn. “I think the general feeling from the Board is that the medical support in London is best for the fighters in terms of the specific units, so the Board would be happy at the moment for us to stay in London.”
