Former Olympic star Anthony Ogogo will make his third outing as a pro on Eddie Hearn’s packed Hull card on July 13.
Ogogo will face a yet to be named opponent in a middleweight 6 rounder on the card that features fellow Team GB star Luke Campbell’s debut and the eagerly awaited rematch between Kell Brook and Carson Jones.
“I’m extremely patriotic and proud to be British, so I’m excited to be back fighting in the U.K. on July 13,” Ogogo, who is promoted by Golden Boy Promotions told DAILY SPORT Boxing. “It’s great to be on the same card as my Olympic teammate and one of my best friends outside of the ring, Luke Campbell. I expect a spectacular performance from Luke on the night, and I’m planning on delivering one myself and really give my home country fans a show.”
“Anthony has shown fans on both sides of the Atlantic just how much potential he has, and we’re all looking forward to his continued development on July 13,” said Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions. “Eddie Hearn has put together a great show for Hull fans and we’re honoured to have Anthony participate on it.”
“I’m delighted to be working with Anthony and Golden Boy as it gives the U.K. public the opportunity to watch Anthony’s impressive progress,” said show promoter Eddie Hearn.
