Hennessy Sports - London (7 March) Tamuka Mucha feels "privileged" to box in front of his home fans at Rivermead, Reading, on March 15.
The 21-year-old Reading man competes in his eighth professional contest on the undercard to the first set of MaxiNutrition Knockout quarter-finals, live on Channel 5.
“I am privileged to box on another big undercard," Mucha said.
"I think Terrestrial TV is so important to engage the casual fans and Channel 5 is a huge part of that.”
The welterweight, Mucha, competes on the undercard to English light heavyweight champion, Bob Ajisafe and former British, Commonwealth and European champion, Dean Francis, as they clash for the British light heavyweight title and a place in the next round of the MaxiNutrition Knockout.
Also scheduled to fight on the show is Leon Senior, as he faces former Commonwealth title challenger Tony Hill over 10 rounds, in the second quarter final of the MaxiNutrition Knockout for the Southern Area light heavyweight belt.
Former British light welterweight champion and European title challenger Lenny Daws will also be in action, along with former Irish lightweight champion Peter McDonagh, Reading's own Ricky O'Brien, Thomas Jarvis and Slough's John Brennan.

THE RULES
The fighters have been seeded and drawn into four quarter-finals.
One side of the draw holds the coveted British and Southern Area light heavyweight titles and the other holds the prestigious English light heavyweight title.
Channel 5 will broadcast the quarter-finals in two programmes, each featuring two live contests, the first at Rivermead, Reading, on March 15th and the second on March 22nd, live from Ponds Forge Arena, Sheffield.
The
winners of each quarter-final will then be drawn to meet in two
semi-finals, competing over 10 x 3 minute rounds for the English title
and 12 x 3 minute rounds for the British, which will be shown live in
programme three.
The
final will be contended over 12 x 3 minute rounds, as the British
champion and English champion from either side of the tournament battle
it out in programme four to become the MaxiNutrition Knockout champion
and claim the Lord Lonsdale belt.
All contests will be under British Boxing Board of Control supervision, with a referee and three scoring judges.
If
any boxer pulls out due to injury, they will be replaced by one of the
losers from the previous round, chosen on a points scoring system.
If
one of the finalists pulls out, the highest scoring semi-final loser
will take his place. If both losers scored the same in the semis, there
will be a count-back to the quarter-finals.
If the scores are still level, the name will be drawn.
The event will be completed over a maximum of six months and the contests will be over ten and the full 12 championship rounds.
Each
of the four live events will be supported by a quality undercard, to
ensure maximum entertainment for the event spectators and, where
necessary, for the TV audience.
