Emerging Scouse prospect Mikie Tallon will look to extend his 10-0 unbeaten record when he steps into the ring against fellow Briton Fezan ‘Fizzy’ Shahid at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday.
The bout will take place on the undercard of the highly anticipated rematch between Chris Eubank Jr. and Conor Benn, just shy of seven months since their electrifying 12-round contest in the same venue.
The eight-round super-flyweight fight between Tallon and Shahid features two orthodox fighters who share just one knockout across their 18 combined contests. However, that rarity has added an extra incentive for both men to prove they have the finishing instinct on the night.
Known as the ‘The Omen’, Tallon fights out of Wavertree’s Engine Room and is among a growing group of Merseyside fighters rising through the professional boxing ranks.
His 5:30pm scheduled ring walk in the home of Premier league club Tottenham, will be the second time in his career that he has performed in front of Saudi billionaire and boxing enthusiast Turki Alalshikh.
Also an owner of Ring Magazine, Turki has shown an interest in Tallon’s progression, previously expressing his intention to feature the Liverpool fighter on the undercard of the Netflix-broadcast super-middleweight showdown between Canelo Álvarez and Terence “Bud” Crawford, back in August.
The Ring Magazine owner even expressed his support on X, writing: “I want to see this fighter on the undercard.”

Bradford fighter Shahid, carries a professional record of 4-2-2 and will be aiming to secure the fifth victory of his career and stifle Tallon’s momentum.
Although his 63-inch reach doesn’t suggest he’ll dominate behind the jab, Shahid’s aggressive, front-foot style is built around working his way inside and targeting the body, a strategy that has allowed him to take control of fights.
However, in his previous contest, the super-flyweight dispatched of Christian Robles by unanimous decision, just moments after dropping his opponent with a perfectly executed overhand right that sent the Mexican to the canvas before the final bell.
A victory for Tallon would not only preserve the Scouser’s unbeaten record but would come just two months before he turns 21 when he will acquire eligibility to contest for a British title.
