The Wasserman Boxing debut of Josh Kelly will come against Hungary’s Peter Kramer on Friday night at Liverpool’s M&S Bank Arena.
Kelly was due to make his bow on Channel 5 last month at the Indigo at the O2 but a debacle ensued when his opponent Xhuljo Vrenozi refused to fight.
With the events of May 13 behind him the 28-year-old super welterweight can focus on the future as he looks for his first career win since December 2019.
Kelly said in a Wasserman press release:
“I can’t wait to give Liverpool, the United Kingdom, and the world the chance to see Josh Kelly at his best again,”
“I’m ready to do whatever, and that starts with a dominant display live on Channel 5 in Liverpool. I can’t wait to give my fans, and all fans of the sport, a masterclass come fight night.”
Kalle Sauerland, Head Of Global Boxing at Wasserman added:
“Josh’s talent is assured in that ring, and the fighting city of Liverpool gets to host it. With over a million viewers on Channel 5 last time, the country will get the opportunity to witness a refreshed and ready “Pretty Boy” Josh Kelly.”
The Friday night card, which features heavyweight Nathan Gorman against Tomas Salek, suffered a blow when it was revealed today that Marcel Braithwaite has been forced to pull out of the British Super Flyweight Title Eliminator against Thomas Essomba due to a shoulder injury suffered in training.
