Undercard takes shape

The October 6 card from the Nottingham Arena topped by Amir Khan’s first Commonwealth Lightweight title defence against Scott Lawton is taking shape.

Bradley Pryce looks set to defend his Commonwealth Light Middleweight crown against 26 year-old Martin Concepcion. Both men are coming off impressive stoppage wins. Pryce stopped Anthony Small inside six exciting rounds, whilst Concepcion inflicted the first defeat on Manchester’s Matthew Hall with a first round stoppage.

Manchester Super Featherweight Steven Bell finally gets a title opportunity when he faces Femi Fehintola for the vacant English title. Bell is currently undefeated in 15 bouts and will start favourite against the Bradford based Fehintola, who challenged for the British title in November 2006.

Dagenham’s Kevin Mitchell looks set to face British champ Carl Johanneson early next year, but he will make a defence of his Commonwealth crown on the show.

There also looks to be a return to action for Graham Earl, who hasn’t boxed since losing a WBO lightweight title challenge to Michael Katsidis in February, in what is certainly a candidate for Fight of the Year.

Undefeated Sheffield welterweight Kell Brook has also been added to the card.
