Junior Witter will defend his WBC light-welterweight title against American Timothy Bradley at the Nottingham Arena on May 10.

The Bradford boxer is the joint headline on a card which also features Carl Froch's rearranged WBC super-middleweight eliminator against Denis Inkin.

Witter had been due to make the third defence of his belt against against Demetrius Hopkins in the United States this month until Hopkins withdrew.

"I am defending my WBC title which is the most prestigious belt in boxing, and a title (Ricky) Hatton has never been able to win - in fact he got knocked out fighting for the WBC title in his last fight," said Witter.
