FRANK WARREN has delivered a spectacular undercard to support Joe Joyce\u2019s big Heavyweight clash against Carlos Takam at SSE Arena, Wembley on Saturday July 24, live on BT.
 
Beside\u2019s Joyce\u2019s WBO International, WBC Silver and Commonwealth Heavyweight championships being on the line, the Hall of Fame promoter has added three further title clashes.
 
There will be plenty of attention on Hamzah Sheeraz after former two-weight World champion Carl Frampton branded him Britain\u2019s best prospect and added: \u201cIf he doesn\u2019t go on and win a world title, I\u2019ll eat my hat.\u201d
 
Sheeraz (12-0, 8 KOs) makes the third defence of his WBO European title against Spaniard Ezequiel Gurria (15-1, 3 KOs).
 
Ilford\u2019s Sheeraz, who is highly rated in the WBO rankings for Brian Castano\u2019s World title, will be bidding for a seventh consecutive inside-the-distance win.
 
He won his title stopping Ryan Kelly in November 2019 and followed that up with impressive defences against Paul Kean and Guido Nicolas Pitto.
 
Swansea\u2019s Chris Jenkins (22-3-3, 8 KOs) will finally defend his British and Commonwealth Welterweight titles against Nottingham\u2019s Ekow Essuman (14-0, 5 KOs) after recovering from injury.
 
They were due to meet back in March, but Jenkins who hasn\u2019t boxed since a technical draw against Liam Taylor in November 2019 pulled out because of a perforated eardrum.
 
Essuman last fought in September 2020 when he outpointed Cedrick Peynaud to claim the IBF European crown.
 
In a well matched fourth title fight, Peacock gym ace Chris Bourke (9-0, 6 KOs) defends his WBC International Super-Bantamweight title against Bloxwich\u2019s James Beech Jnr (12-1, 2 KOs).
 
Streatham\u2019s Bourke has a reputation as a damaging puncher. His title winning performance when he hammered Michael Ramabeletsa inside two rounds last December is proof.
 
Beech isn\u2019t an easy first defence. Beech Jnr pushed Brad Foster all the way in a British and Commonwealth title challenge 12 months ago before losing on points.
 
Warren said: \u201cI am delighted with the undercard. All of the boys have a chance to make statements that show they are headline acts of the future.
 
\u201cHamzah is now training in California and from what I am told he is impressing everyone out there. He is a real sleeper in the Super-Welterweight division, and I am with Carl Frampton in believing he reaches the very top.
 
\u201cChris Bourke is a threat to any of the domestic Super-Bantamweights and I\u2019m sure he would like to do better than Brad Foster did against James.
 
\u201cI am relieved that Chris Jenkins will finally get another defence after a long layoff, and am delighted to get Ekow Essuman out again. Whoever wins this fight, be it Chris or Ekow, will be well placed to kick on and start looking at World level fights.
 
\u201cIt is a 50-50 fight and few will tip either with great conviction.\u201d
 
There is also Heavyweight action featuring David Adeleye (6-0, 5 KOs), who\u2019s opponent is TBC.
 
Elsewhere on the card, Mill Hill\u2019s George Fox (3-0) will make his Queensberry debut, whilst Reading Super-Featherweight hope Charles Frankham (2-0, 1 KO) has also been added to the stacked bill.

‘The Gent’ Micky Burke Jr (4-0, 1 KO) also returns after his first stoppage victory in November last year.
