Professional career Padley vs. Chamberlain Padley had the biggest fight of his career up to this point against undefeated British lightweight Mark Chamberlain at Wembley. The fight, scheduled as a light-welterweight bout, took place on the undercard of Anthony Joshua vs Daniel Dubois on 21 September 2024.
