Carl Frampton, a two-time world champion in two weight classes – IBF Super-bantamweight and WBA super-featherweight, will also deliver expert analysis throughout the night.
Lennox Lewis said: “The bigger guy always has the advantage. I think it’s a good time for Tyson. Everyone can see the shape he’s in, and he’s taking it a lot more seriously than the Ngannou fight, and so he should.”
