Ellesmere Port star Paul Butler will challenge IBF World Super-Flyweight Champion Zolani Tete on Saturday 25th October at the Liverpool Echo Arena (subject to IBF final approval).
Butler stepped up a division to bantamweight and beat IBF World Champion Stuart Hall on points in June to become the fastest ever Englishman to win a world title.
The 25-year-old goes back to his natural weight of super-flyweight to attempt two further records: to become the first British boxer since heavyweight great Bob Fitzsimmons in 1903 to win a second world title in a lighter division and the fastest ever English fighter to win a second world title.
