Jamie McDonnell: Will face a Spanish opponent
Jamie McDonnell will have a new opponent when he defends his European bantamweight title on Saturday week.
The Doncaster fighter was due to take on Frenchman Malik Bouziane on March 3 but the challenger has pulled out with an unspecified injury.
McDonnell will now take on Ivan Pozo of Spain, who is ranked sixth by the EBU, at the Hillsborough Leisure Centre in Sheffield.
Pozo has a 32-6-1 record and although he rarely fights outside his home country has twice held the European flyweight title, and even fought for the WBO strap four years ago.
The undercard is headed by the return of heavyweight Tom Dallas, who is looking to bounce back from a defeat to stable-mate David Price when he takes on veteran Matt Skelton over eight rounds.
