The first of at least six bouts scheduled for 2023 will take place on March 24 at the University of Bolton Stadium, and it will be for the IBO World Light Heavyweight Championship, pitting Argentine Braian Nahuel Suarez against Manchester-born boxer Lyndon Arthur.

The new partnership will offer first-class, free-to-air boxing to the British public, according to Kalle Sauerland, Head of Global Boxing at Wasserman. "We're delighted to be working with Ladbrokes, one of the world's leading entertainment brands," Sauerland said of the deal.
