Anthony Ogogo (9-0, 5 KOs) has been added to the blockbuster bill at The 02 in London on June 25, live on Sky Sports.

The 27 year-old made his long-awaited return to the ring in Glasgow on May 28 and did so in style with a third round stoppage win over Gary Cooper. The Olympic bronze medal star can now build towards title fights in the exciting Middleweight division, and the fan favourite is looking forward to meeting up with his old Team GB teammate Joshua.

“I can’t wait to get back in the ring on June 25 at The O2,” said Ogogo. “It’s going to be an explosive night of boxing with my Olympic teammate and good friend Anthony Joshua heading the bill, as well as George Groves as chief support, and I’m looking forward to being a part of it.

“It was great to be back in the ring on the Ricky Burns card in Glasgow in May and I just want to keep busy now and fight as often as I can to build momentum – starting on June 25. I’ll be looking to make a big statement on fight night and I would like to thank Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Sport, Golden Boy Promotions and Team Sauerland for helping to get me on such a great card.”

He will be an exciting addition to an already huge night for British boxing on June 25 at The O2.’’
