Frank Maloney Promotions will stage Ian Napa's (13-5) challenge of European bantamweight champion Simone Maludrutto (24-1, 10 KOs) on March 9 in London.
"Ian has lost some big fights that I thought he won," said Napa's trainer Brian Lawrence. "But this time he's had proper notice and Maludrutto will find out that it's going to be a very hard fight."
Promoter Frank Maloney sees this contest as the latest in a series of invasions of British soil. "Ian Napa will put a stop to these foreign bantamweights coming over here and leaving with the scalps of our top men," said Maloney.
British light middleweight champion Jamie Moore (25-3, 18KOs) will also feature on the bill.
Tickets are £40 and £70, and are available at the Frank Maloney Promotions box office 08712 261508 and www.frankmaloney.com
