Huddersfield’s Tyrone Nurse will defend his British light-welterweight title against Hull’s Tommy Coyle next month.
The bout will take place at Leeds Arena on Leeds on Saturday, July 30, when local hero Josh Warrington will headline.
It’s a quick turnaround for 26-year-old Nurse, who shone in stopping seasoned Scot Willie Limond in Glasgow last month.
That was a slick first defence of a belt won at the expense of Welshman Chris Jenkins in Manchester last November.
Nurse now has 33 wins and a draw from 36 professional bouts, while Coyle, also 26, has 22 wins and three defeats.
The East Yorkshire fighter has stepped up from lightweight and Nurse’s trainer Chris Aston said: “We know he has a punch.
“But Tyrone has experience and plenty of skill and we aim to make that count.”
Aston added: “We never really stopped after the Limond fight, so the turnaround time is no problem at all.”
