"This is going to be a great bout and the winner will be looking to push forward towards 10-rounders.

"Camp has gone great, and we have had championship level sparring from two classy southpaws in preparation."

He added: "Female boxer Chelsey Arnell travels from Hull to train with myself and George Rhodes Snr. She is a super-featherweight, and is boxing for the central area title over 10 rounds in Oldham on Saturday July 23.
