Klitschko-Fury: Jono Carroll To Face Miguel Gonzalez

By Elliot Foster

Jono Carroll has been handed an opponent for his next fight.

The 23-year-old Matchroom Boxing-promoted super featherweight is set for a showcase on the undercard of Tyson Fury’s world heavyweight title challenge against Wladimir Klitschko in Germany.

Carroll (8-0, 1 KO), will face Miguel Gonzalez (13-3, 11 KOs) of Honduras at the ESPRIT Arena in Düsseldorf on Saturday.

He'll participate in his ninth fight when overseas and will be looking to put on a show-stealing display in front of the 55,000-capacity crowd on a bill which also features Tyson’s cousin Hughie.

Gonzalez, 29, has fought all but one of his 16 fights to date in South America, with a trip to Europe –– Spain, to be precise –– his only venture out of his comfort zone.
