Anthony Joshua v Carlos Takam
Venue: Principality Stadium, Cardiff Date: Saturday, 28 October Time: 22:00 BST approx
Coverage: Live text commentary on the BBC Sport website and app from 20:00 BST
Britain's Anthony Joshua will defend his IBF and WBA heavyweight world titles against Carlos Takam on Saturday at Cardiff's Principality Stadium.
It will be Joshua's first fight since stopping Wladimir Klitschko at Wembley Stadium in April, adding the WBA title to the IBF belt he claimed in 2016.
Joshua was due to fight Kubrat Pulev but the Bulgarian pulled out with a shoulder injury.
That meant 36-year-old Cameroon-born Takam, the IBF's mandatory challenger who is based in France, was drafted in for the biggest fight of his career.
You can follow the fight - and the best of the undercard - live with BBC Sport's text commentary from about 20:00 BST on Saturday.
