Gennady Golovkin and Steve Rolls face off ahead of fight
Golovkin hasn’t been in the ring since his majority decision loss to Canelo Alvarez back in September.
The Kazakh fighter is making his debut at super-middleweight, having won an abundance of world titles in the 160lb division below.
Rolls, 35, is unbeaten as a professional at 19-0 and is looking for the first big statement win of his career.
But Golovkin will be desperate to thrust his name back into world title contention with a win - while the 37-year-old is also hopeful for a trilogy fight with Alvarez.
What time is Golovkin vs Rolls?
The undercard is expected to get underway around 2am (BST) but the main event is likely to start close to 4.30am.
Golovkin and Rolls should be on their way to the ring at 4am, depending on the duration of the undercard fights.
Of course, the fight is taking place in New York, and could even end up starting from 3.30am-4am if there are a few early finishes in the preceding fights.

What are they saying?
Golovkin said : "My motivation for training for Steve Rolls is the same as for any fight. To me, every fight I have is my biggest test. I know Rolls can be dangerous because earlier in my career, I used to be Steve Rolls.
"I was an unknown challenger. It is the unknown fighters who can end up being the most dangerous. Andy Ruiz just showed us that an underdog should not be underestimated.
Rolls added: "I have never had a training camp like this. It was so intense and productive. I turned my professional boxing soul over to [trainer] Tommy [Howat]. I developed such a hunger to learn and an unending desire to achieve.
"I have such a strong belief in myself and I believe I’m going to win. I have been preparing my whole life for this opportunity and it’s an opportunity I’m going to take advantage of on Saturday."
