SAM WEBB will defend his British light-middleweight title against Martin Concepcion in London on Saturday October 16.
Webb (16-0-1) won the title in March when he outpointed controversial Anthony Small, but faces a tough night against the Leicester banger.
Concepcion (17-7) is arguably the hardest domestic puncher at 11 stone, with ten of his wins coming inside the distance.
He is a former Commonwealth champion, a title he won in July 2007 with a shock first round stoppage of Matthew Hall.
Promoter Frank Maloney said: “There was criticism that Sam’s win over Small lacked excitement, but that wasn’t his fault.
“He will not have to go looking for Martin and we could have a small hall classic on the night.”
Chislehurst’s Webb, 29, turned professional in October 2005 and Maloney added: “It has taken time, but I feel Sam is finally showing his potential.”
The fight will be broadcast live on Sky Sports. Venue confirmation, undercard and ticket prices will be released next month.
