Conah Walker faces Sam Eggington in a welterweight clash on May 2 at The Halls in Wolverhampton, live on DAZN.
Walker (17-3-1, 8 KOs) enters the fight following a stoppage win over Pat McCormack in December and is targeting a world title opportunity later this year. “My dream is to fight for a world title… but the next best thing was a homecoming in Wolverhampton,” he said.
