Frankie Gavin will defend his WBO Intercontinental welterweight title against France’s Frank Haroche Horta in Manchester on Friday October 28.

The unbeaten Birmingham star (11-0, 8 KOs), who headlines the card at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester, will be fighting for the first time since leaving trainer Anthony Farnell and relocating to East London to team up with brothers Jimmy and Mark Tibbs.

Gavin, 26, is keen to put on a show but expects a tough challenge against the 31-year-old Frenchman, who has never been stopped in his 39 fights so far.

He said: “I’ve been working on new and different things in the gym with Jimmy and Mark and I’m looking forward to putting on a great show next month.

“This will also be my debut on the new fight channel BoxNation so I’m looking to make a big impression with the viewers as well.

“My trainers have been working me hard in the gym and now it’s up to me to perform on the night and show that I’m the best young talent out there.

“Horta looks likes a tough fighter, I’ve seen some clips of him on the internet, but I think that after a few rounds I’ll have his measure and take him out.

“He’s never been stopped in 39 fights so it’s a massive incentive for me to be the first to do, but I won’t be rushing in being careless to do it.”

Undefeated prospect Ronnie Heffron, 21, features as chief-support on the show and challenges for his first title when he takes on the Central Area welterweight champion Chris Johnson.

The undercard line-up features Luke Blackledge, D.T Price, Matthew Hall, Mark Evans and James Pirie.
