Former super middleweight world champion Sakio Bika and several of Australia's brightest boxing prospects, including Tim Tszyu, will appear on a multi-title fight card on Sunday.

Named after Australia's best known boxing trainer, the Johnny Lewis Fight Night at Sydney's The Star, features Australian, Commonwealth and regional title fights.

In the main event, former WBC Champion Bika will fight for the vacant WBC International Silver super middleweight title against Geard Ajetovic.

The tough Serbian lost on points to Australia's former middleweight world champion Danel Geale nine years ago.

It will be Bika's first fight in Sydney since 2009.
