Reece Bellotti challenges Jason Cunningham for the Commonwealth Featherweight title as the JDNXTGEN series resumes next month.
The exciting featherweight prospect can secure another belt in his clash with Cunningham at York Hall on October 13, live on Sky Sports, with Isaac Chamberlain, Ted Cheeseman and Natasha Jonas also appearing on the Bethnal Green bill.
Bellotti continued his rise up the rankings with an eighth-round stoppage of Jamie Speight to claim the WBC International Silver strap in July and hopes to soon challenge for a British title.
"This is what you get in boxing for, to win titles," said Bellotti. "This is the second title I can win this year and I'm really looking forward to it.
"I know Jason has come up through the weights. He's boxed a good level of opposition, better than what I have so far. He's tough, a southpaw and I'm expecting my hardest night so far.
"I haven't fought a southpaw as a professional yet. It doesn't faze me, you've got to get in there and experience all different things in your development and this ticks another box, and it puts me in the frame for the British belt."
Chamberlain, Cheeseman and Jonas are part of another packed bill, which also includes former world title challenger Charlie Edwards, and the unbeaten duo of Felix Cash and Danny Dignum.
