Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn has announced that the undercard from the cancelled David Haye bill will still go ahead on June 29 and will now be held at Bolton Arena and televised live on SKY Sports.
Gavin Rees will return to action after his brave World title challenge against Adrien Broner in Atlantic City in February and he takes on former British champion Anthony Crolla in a crucial clash for both of their careers after ‘Million Dollar’ Crolla’s rematch with Derry Mathews in Liverpool in March ended in a draw with the Commonwealth title on the line.
Plus also on the action backed card will be British and Commonwealth featherweight champ Lee Selby, English super-middleweight champ Rocky Feilding, WBO inter-continental light-middleweight champ Brian Rose plus former Team GB’s Olympic boxing captain Thomas Stalker.
Eddie Hearn told DAILY SPORT boxing: “We had been working on a great undercard for the Haye fight so it made sense to continue with the show and to keep it in Greater Manchester. Rees v Crolla has all the makings of a classic and Lee Selby will face a big step up in class on the bill.”
