Mark Chamberlain vs Gavin Gwynne: Betting Odds & Prediction

Mark Chamberlain (14-0, 10KOs) faces Gavin Gwynne (17-2-1) in a 10-round fight on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Francis Ngannou on Friday in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The winner of the contest hopes to establish themselves as an emerging contender in the lightweight division.

Recent Form

Chamberlain comes into the fight on the back of a tenth-round knockout win, defending his IBF European Lightweight title for the third time. The undefeated prospect has gradually risen through the pro ranks, beating all opposition so far in comfortable fashion. The fight will be the 25-year-old's first scheduled over the 12-round distance. 

Gwynne meanwhile enters on the back of an impressive run of form. Since he claimed the Commonwealth Lightweight title three years ago, pulling off an upset to beat the then undefeated Irishman Sean Mccomb, the Welshman has been on the rise, picking up the British and European lightweight titles. Gwynne has also previously fought over 12 rounds on four occasions.
