After controversially defeating Manny Pacquiao for the WBO Welterweight title in July, Jeff Horn will defend his belt for the first time against the United Kingdom’s Gary Corcoran.

The fight is set for the Brisbane Convention Centre at around 10pm (AEDT) on Wednesday, December 13, depending on the length of the undercard fights.

Horn’s victory over Pacquiao in July was re-scored by the WBO after controversy surrounded the judge’s decisions, with many believing the former champion should have won the fight. Despite that, Horn was given the win even after the second scoring of the fight.

Here’s everything you need to know about the big fight between Horn and Corcoran.
