Roman v G McDonnell
Sky Sports Main Event, from 2am Saturday night

Ohara Davies continues to rebuild his career after losing in seven rounds to Josh Taylor last year but he could suffer another setback against super-lightweight Jack Catterall in Leicester.

Davies has power but the undefeated Catterall is a slippery opponent and could hold the aces if Davies fails to impose himself early.

Gavin McDonnell travels to Chicago to take on Daniel Roman for the WBA super-bantamweight title. Both fighters usually go the distance, but the American could edge it and looks value at 8-11 to win on the scorecards.

Callum Johnson is a 5-1 underdog when he takes on Artur Beterbiev for the IBF light-heavyweight title on the undercard.

Fearsome puncher Beterbiev has won all 12 of his pro bouts by knockout and is 4-0 to finish Johnson.

Recommendations
J Catterall on points
1pt 2-1 general
D Roman on points
1pt 8-11 general
