Disappointed Scott Haywood will unleash his frustrations on Michael Frontin next week.

The Derby dazzler has been fired up to meet Lenny Daws in an English light-welterweight title fight, but that scrap has been shelved until July.

Haywood, 27, instead meets the London based Mauritian Michael Frontin (1-5-1) who is one of the trickiest opponents around despite his patchy record in a six rounder at Fenton Manor Sports Complex, Stoke-on-Trent on May 29.

Frontin, 31, holds a win over a win over Justin Murphy and drew with leading British title contender Ryan Barrett.

Haywood (19-2) is looking for a return to winning ways after being stopped in seven rounds by world ranked Nigerian Ajose Olusegun in a Commonwealth title challenge in February.

Ironically Frontin has been the distance with Olusegun so there is no danger of him under--estimating his rival.

Promoter Frank Maloney said: "Ideally Scott would have loved to face Daws and get his title back, but that will happen.

"Defeat to Olusegun didn't mean the end by any means. If Scott can beat Frontin and Daws he will be back in British title contention."

Top of the talent crammed card is local hero Chris Edwards (12-13-3) who defends his British and Commonwealth flyweight title against Derby's Usman Ahmed (5-1-1)

Also on the top class bill, Ireland's Olympic bronze medallist Darren Sutherland (2-0) bids to stop Georgian Tchilaia (9-8) who took Beijing golden boy DeGale the distance on his professional debut in February.

An eliminator for the British super-featherweight title sees Dewsbury's Gary Sykes (11-0) square off with Manchester's big ticket seller Anthony Crolla (13-1), in what promise to be a fierce ten rounder.

The show's co-promoter Scott Lawton is off the card after landing a British lightweight title fight against John Murray

Tickets (£35 and £75) for the show sale and available from www.frankmaloney.com and 0871 226 1508.
