Isaac Lowe to face Jamie Speight for vacant English featherweight title
Wednesday 26 August 2015 11:04, UK
Isaac Lowe will face Jamie Speight for the vacant English featherweight title at the First Direct Arena in Leeds on September 5.
Morecambe-based Lowe, 21, is unbeaten in his 10 professional fights and will be looking to make a big statement in his first title fight.
Speight will have other ideas, though, as the Southern Area champion fights for the title for the second time having taken on show headliner Josh Warrington for the belt in Leeds in March 2013.
Lowe's clash with Speight is part of a huge night of action in West Yorkshire as Warrington defends his Commonwealth and WBC International featherweight titles against Joel Brunker.
St Helens star Martin Murray will take part in his first championship bout since facing Gennady Golovkin, while unbeaten Birmingham super-flyweight Kal Yafai will also be in action.
Light-heavyweight Callum Johnson will be looking to retain his unbeaten record when he faces Tony Hill and Andy Townend defends his English super-featherweight crown against Lee Glover.
