British Lightweight champion Gavin Gwynne (16-2-1, 4 KOs) will challenge the undefeated Italian southpaw Emiliano Marsili (42-0-1, 16 KOs) for the vacant European Lightweight title in the main event.
The clash was originally scheduled for the Dec 2 undercard of Hamzah Sheeraz-Liam Williams but Sheeraz sustained a perforated eardrum in training and, therefore, the fight has been postponed until early in 2024.

The remainder of the original December 2 Copper Box card switches to Friday, December 1 and the venue moves to the 1,500-capacity York Hall in London, England, live on TNT Sports.
In April, Gwynne stopped Craig Woodruff in five rounds to successfully defend his British title on the Rakhimov-Cordina card.
The win enabled Matchroom to trigger a two-fight option on the 33-year-old Welshman. Matchroom did not use the option and Gwynne has now signed with Frank Warren’s Queensberry Promotions instead.

The Italian stopped Derry Matthews to win the IBO world title in Liverpool almost a decade ago.
Marsili has held numerous other titles over the years including the European, WBC Silver, and WBA Inter-Continental.
