Martin J Ward to defend title against Ronnie Clark at Wembley
Thursday 17 November 2016 11:10, UK
Martin J Ward will defend his British super-featherweight title against Ronnie Clark at Wembley next week, live on Sky Sports.
Ward beat Andy Townend in September to claim the vacant belt, and his first defence will be part of a November 26 bill featuring Katie Taylor's professional debut.
In the other corner will be Dundee's Clark, who travels to London on the back of three stoppage wins in his last four fights.
Promoter Eddie Hearn said: "September 10 was a big win for Martin and now he can really get his teeth into the division.
"We know Ronnie and his team are going to give everything but Martin has to look good as he continues to move up the levels.
"You only have to look at Jason Sosa vs. Stephen Smith last week to see where you need to be, it's a fierce division but a very exciting one."
