All the weights from the official pre-fight weigh-in ahead of Sam Noakes vs Yvan Mendy on Saturday night, April 20, at York Hall, Bethnal Green, live on TNT Sports.
The unbeaten Maidstone man, Noakes, was initially due to defend his British and Commonwealth titles until the chance to challenge for the coveted blue EBU belt came along.
23-year-old unbeaten southpaw Henry Turner defends his WBC bauble for the fourth time, which could see him improve on his 28th world ranking, should he continue his winning ways.
Fight fans are excited to see the return of thrilling fighter, Andrew Cain, since being sidelined with surgery for 13 months. The Everton Red Triangle prospect, trained by Paul Stevenson, broke his hand after flooring Ionut Baluta twice in the first round of their March 2023 high-octane clash.

Frank Warren:
“This is another card where our elite young band of highly talented fighters get the chance to shine,” said promoter Frank Warren. “These shows are quite literally the making of our young stars and we always make sure these development cards are topped by significant title action, this time featuring Sam Noakes and Henry Turner.
“Sam continues to blaze his way through the lightweight division and he will get to make a first defence of the British title he was so happy to win late last year, while Henry is back in another defence of his WBC belt against an excellent challenger in Bradley Townsend, who gets his big chance.
“I cannot wait to see Andrew Cain back in the ring at bantamweight. I firmly believe he would be a major champion by now if it were not for the severe hand injury he sustained that affected him so much in Telford last year.
“Aloys Jr and Ben Fail will continue to thrill, I’m sure, while I am excited to launch the professional careers of elite amateur stars Joe Cooper and Eoghan Lavin, who I am delighted have chosen Queensberry to guide their careers.”
