One World title coming up in July. Tommy Ryan will defend his Welterweight title against mandatory challenger Owen Ziegler.

At Bantamweight, Billy Plimmer will defend his European and Commonwealth titles against fellow Englishman Jack Hare.

Johnny Murphy will defend his American Bantamweight title against Danny Dougherty.

The fight of the month will be made at Lightweight. The two old warriors Jimmy Carroll and Jack McAuliffe will meet for the third time. The Irishman won the first bout on points before Carroll gained revenge by knocking his man cold in the second encounter. The fight will hold World final eliminator status.

Bad news for Jack Skelly! After totally outclassing Martin Flaherty, it appears that Skelly 'went on a bender' with his connections. 'Gentleman Jack' didn't live up to his nickname, he got involved with a bar brawl and was sent down for six months in a Los Angeles courthouse. Johnny T Griffin will now take on Martin Flaherty to determine a challenger to new Featherweight World Champion Dick Hollywood in November.

Solly Smith has been hospitalised with a serious illness, there are no further details at the moment though he is likely to be on the sidelines for some time.
