Undefeated prospect Troy Jones lands English light-heavyweight title shot on July 6

Unbeaten Troy Jones preparing for his maiden title challenge

Troy Jones (10-0, 6KO) will get a shot at domestic glory when he boxes for the English light-heavyweight title on July 6th at the Eastside Rooms in Birmingham on BCB Promotions 'For King and Country'.

The 25-year-old from Birmingham is unbeaten in 10 bouts and made light work of his last opponent, the tricky Prince Oko Nartey, on May 10th, stopping him inside three rounds.

His first shot at a belt has come at just the right time for the Lee Beard-trained heavy hitter, and his promoter, Errol Johnson, has secured him a home advantage.

"It will mean everything to me to win the English title," said Jones. "I didn’t have an outstanding amateur career like some fighters did, so to get to this point is already a massive achievement, but it is only the start.

"It’s the beginning of another chapter in my career; the apprenticeship’s been served. I can’t wait to get in there and get the job done. There will be big things to come in my career, 100% through hard work and dedication."

"We are thrilled to bring another big title fight to Birmingham," said Errol Johnson. "It will be our twelfth show of the year and shows that major title fights can still be made off TV.

"Troy has a big following who have been with him from the start, so hopefully they will get behind him and the venue will be packed on the night."

Details of the opponent and the full undercard will be released shortly, and it promises to be a show worthy of the title.
