What time is Troy Williamson vs. Callum Simpson 2 tonight? How to watch, date, ringwalks, undercard, prediction, odds
Williamson vs. Simpson 2 live on DAZN - TONIGHT
Tonight, a rematch riddled with animosity takes place live on DAZN, when Troy Williamson and Callum Simpson run it back in Leeds.
Williamson stopped Simpson in the same city nine months ago to become the British, Commonwealth and European super middleweight champion, but with a rematch clause in the contract, it's no surprise Simpson activated it.
Where the animosity comes from is the amount of time it has taken to arrange the contest with Williamson wanting to progress his career only for it to be stalled by Saturday's opponent.
Simpson will be backed by an army of fans from Barnsley, so Williamson will once more be eager to silence them and put this rivalry to bed once and for all.

DAZN News Prediction: Who will win?
DAZN News correspondent Andrew Steel
It's been a tough one to split this week - but Callum Simpson just edges it for us, with a drive to make amends crucial to his style.
Having been unable to put Troy Williamson away last time, he will arrive determined to ensure that any stoppage is one of his own.
But could that open him up to the same mistakes? Either way, this could be a fascinating firefight - and one worth every inch the hype.
