Tom Dallas will compete in the forthcoming heavyweight prizefighter contest.

He will line up alongside some formidable opponents at York Hall, on Wednesday, June 20.

Among the fighters already on the bill are Australia’s former heavyweight champion Kali Meehan, one-time European title holder Albert Sosnowski and Kevin Johnson, who once fought Vitali Klitschko for the WBC crown.

The popular prizefighter series sees eight boxers compete for a £32,000 cash prize in a knock-out contest over the course of one night, with bouts lasting just three rounds.

Dallas is keen to answer the critics with a convincing show after successive KO defeats, to David Price last year and Matt Skelton in March.

Tickets are available from matchroomboxing.com, priced from £40.
