Whindersson Nunes is back in the ring tonight when he takes on Filip Marcinek at the OVO Arena, Wembley in the opening round of Kingpyn Boxing's 'High Stakes' tournament.
The Brazilian social media superstar has more followers than the Paul brothers put together, and brings his boxing skills to the UK for the first time when he faces last-minute tournament addition Marcinek. The Polish fighter has a background in MMA and kickboxing, but Nunes went the distance with a two-time world champion in his last outing so there could be fireworks on the night.
Nunes vs Marcinek will be one of the key fights on an exciting night at the OVO Arena, with the winner moving on to face the winner of King Kenny vs My Mate Nate. Regardless of the result, every fighter in the tournament will fight twice more this summer.

Whindersson: "This is one of the best weeks of my year, I'm very happy, it's impossible to be better than I am right now, I've been hitting pads, everyone when they start to train boxing they know how to do it but my most important feature right now is my cardio, my cardio is looking great for this fight. Hitting pads is easy, everybody can do it."
