Undefeated heavyweight destroyer Tyson Fury faces a dangerous test against big-hitting Christian Hammer on Saturday 28th February at London's 02 arena

Fury puts his WBO International title on the line against the WBO number four ranked Hammer in a risky title defence ahead of a projected summer showdown with reigning world champion Wladimir Klitschko.

The Wilmslow giant dismantled Dereck Chisora for the second time last month to win the British and European titles and also secured the number one and mandatory position to Klitschko, who next fights in April, but must then defend his WBO title against Fury next.

German based Romanian Hammer, who fights out of the EC Boxing team, is a former WBO European Champion who has 10 stoppages out of 17 wins, and will be looking to cause a huge upset on these shores by being the first to defeat Fury and earn himself a shot at Klitschko.

In his last fight he defeated then rising, dynamite-hitting, Brazilian prospect Irineu Beato Costa Jnr, who until then had stopped 13 out of 15 opponents early, but Hammer showed that he can box as well as punch by winning every single round of the twelve rounder.

Main support sees Chris Eubank Jnr. return to the ring against Interim WBA World Middleweight Champion Dmitry Chudinov at the O2 arena on Saturday 28th February

For Eubank Jnr. it's an immediate high-level comeback into championship action following his very close split decision loss to bitter rival Billy Joe Saunders in November.

Although it was the 25-year-old's first career loss in 19 fights, many ringside observers felt that he showed the qualities of future champion which will be improved with more big fight experience.

He now gets to prove his mettle when he faces hard Russian Chudinov who's unbeaten in 16 fights with nine KO's and has made two defences of the Interim WBA World title.

A win for Eubank Jnr. could also see a mouthwatering rematch against Saunders with two world titles on the line if Saunders is successful in his WBO World title challenge against new champion Andy Lee when the fight is confirmed.

Tickets, priced at £50, £75, £100 and £250 – plus £2.50 booking fee, for the Frank Warren promoted Risky Business, at the O2 Arena in London on Saturday 28th February 2015 are available on-line at TKO Box Office
