Brad Pauls vs Denzel Bentley: UK start time, live stream, TV channel and full card for British middleweight title clash
DENZEL BENTLEY takes on Brad Pauls THIS WEEKEND in what should be a cracker of a British title contest at Wembley Arena.
Bentley lost the Lonsdale belt to Nathan Heaney last year before the Stoke man lost it to Pauls in the summer.
Both men want to propel themselves into the world middleweight title picture, with Bentley having challenged for the WBO strap before, losing on points to Janibek Alimkhanuly.
Pauls, despite holding the British title, is the underdog here and will be hoping to upset the applecart, putting himself into world title contention instead.
On the undercard is Lawrence Okolie’s debut at heavyweight against Hussein Muhamed.
Sam Noakes is also in action against Ryan Walsh, while Sol Dacres takes on David Adeleye in a big English heavyweight title bout.

What has been said?
Pauls became the first boxer from Cornwall to win a Lonsdale belt since 1939 and he wasn’t surprised at the incredible achievement.
Speaking to BBC Sports, Pauls said: “It’s strange, but what else did I expect to happen?”
“I’ve done nothing else, I promise you, I’m not good at any other thing.
“All I’ve done is box, I thought ‘something’s got to happen here’ and it’s nice to be in the history books. I’d love to give Cornwall some history where they don’t have loads of superstars coming out of that county.
“I feel like there’s a little bit more to gain, a little bit more to do.”
