Portsmouth lightweight Mark Chamberlain believes he can “get to the top of boxing” and is targeting another win as he puts his unbeaten record on the line.<\/b><\/p>\n
Chamberlain takes on the undefeated Josh Padley at Wembley Stadium on 21 September.<\/p>\n
The national stadium will host over 96,000 people for the clash between heavyweights Anthony Joshua and IBF world champion Daniel Dubois. <\/p>\n
Chamberlain, who has 16 wins including 12 knockouts, will open the main card. <\/p>\n
“You don\u2019t really get any bigger than fighting at Wembley Stadium.” Chamberlain told BBC Sport.<\/p>\n
“Josh Padley is just another man in front of me that is going to get dealt with on the night, I truly believe I can get to the very top of this sport.<\/p>\n
“I have to just keep doing what I\u2019m doing, keep my head down and train hard as I always do, as easy as it is to say I just have to keep winning.”<\/p>\n
Chamberlain boxed on the Tyson Fury-Oleksandr Usyk undercard in May, where he stopped Joshua Wahab in the first round, and is in action on his second card headlined by Joshua. <\/p>\n
The event at Wembley has been put together by a mix of promoters, including Queensberry’s Frank Warren, Matchroom’s Eddie Hearn, Boxxer’s Ben Shalom, Wasserman’s Kalle Sauerland and Goldstar Promotions’ Spencer Brown. <\/p>\n
“It was surreal sitting on the end of that table and looking behind me to see Anthony Joshua and some of the biggest names in the sport,” Chamberlain added.<\/p>\n
“I truly believe I\u2019ve earned my spot to be at that table though, it doesn\u2019t happen overnight and it has taken me years to get to this stage.<\/p>\n
“I bought a house last year and was plastering it myself as a former builder. It was a funny moment but I don\u2019t want to pick the trowel up again, hopefully I keep winning and the tools can stay away.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
