Eggington has enjoyed two consecutive British Boxing Board of Control Fight of the Year awards, demonstrating quite what a show fans at the Coventry Skydome could be in for on Saturday night. His last fight was a thrilling win against Bilel Jkitou which won the 2021 award while his loss against Ted Cheeseman in 2020 won the same title.

"I know that my fights are going to end up in a slug-fest, a gruelling night's work. He added: "So I prepare for that. If I get in there and I throw a shot and it puts them out early then that's great. But if I don't I know that I've got to drag them there and keep them there until they give up," Eggington added.
"When I'm in the ring, it kills me as well. I don't know if I've got another four rounds, three rounds but I'll always make it. I genuinely put that down to hard work."
Eggington vs Zysk will be broadcast on Sky Sports Action in the UK, with a live stream available via Now TV, with 24 hours costing £11.98 and a month £33.99.
The fighters will take their ringwalk at 10:00 PM.
