Mark Chamberlain’s Path to Fury-Usyk II Undercard with Sept 21 Victory

Chamberlain’s Shot at Berinchyk Hinges on Sept 21 Win

The dramatic rise of Chamberlain began with his appearance on the undercard of Joshua vs. Francis Ngannou where he comprehensively defeated Gavin Gwynne by fourth-round TKO. He followed this up with a first-round TKO win over Joshua Oluwaseun Wahab. What impressed in both of these fights was the exceptional hand speed of the Portsmouth native and how he varied his attacks between the head and body of his opponents. September 21 could change the life of this 25-year-old contender.

Speaking on the Big Fight Weekend preview show, Rafael spoke on what could be next for Chamberlain, should he win on Saturday: “The main thing you should know about it is this. Mark Chamberlain is the favourite fighter of Turki Alalshikh. He is hand-picked to be on these cards, both in Saudi Arabia and this card here in Wembley, because he is Turki’s favourite fighter.”

Rafael continued: “Although this is not official, I am told by multiple sources that if Mark Chamberlain wins this fight, and all is well health wise that he will be on the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk II undercard – and he will be challenging Denys Berinchyk for the WBO title.”

He added: “He’s got the Berinchyk fight right there in his palm with a victory.”
