Martin J Ward looks set to make his first defence of the European title against James Tennyson.
The Essex-based southpaw, a former British champion who has a Lonsdale belt outright after making three successful defences, won the vacant crown against Juli Giner at the back end of 2017 and is set to face the WBA International king in London.
The European Boxing Union revealed on its website that the fight –– a voluntary defence for Ward, whose mandatory challenger is Samir Ziani –– will take place on May 5, as part of a Matchroom Boxing card.
Tennyson, 24, had been set to box on April 14 at the Europa Hotel in Belfast, as part of Dunlop's 'Collision' show, but the man behind MHD Promotions said that he will no longer be on that bill “as he prepares for this big assignment” on the Sky Sports Box Office-aired card.
