Scotty Cardle to fight Craig Evans for vacant British lightweight title

The unbeaten Cardle, 25, became English champion with an emphatic first-round stoppage of Kirk Goodings in September but he faces another fighter with a perfect record in Welshman Evans, who is also 25.
An action-packed card in London also includes Anthony Joshua v Kevin Johnson, Kevin Mitchell fighting Jorge Linares for his WBC lightweight world title, Lee Selby attempting to take the IBF world featherweight title from Evgeny Gradovic and Dave Ryan defending his Commonwealth belt against domestic rival John Wayne Hibbert.
"This show gets bigger and bigger,” said Matchroom promoter Eddie Hearn.
