[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Frankie Gavin will challenge Chris van Heerden for the IBF International Welterweight title clash on May 9 at the Barclaycard Arena in Birmingham, live on Sky Sports.

Gavin will headline in the second city in Matchroom Sport’s first major show there for 13 years and his first fight in the city since September 2010, and his meeting with the South African visitor will follow an appearance on the undercard of IBF World ruler Kell Brook’s first title defence in Sheffield on March 28 as the Birmingham star chases a future showdown with ‘The Special One’.

This should be a good fight.

How many shots the IBF going to give Van Heerden?

Eddie Hearn trying to position Gavin into a fight with Brook

Heerden should win this, but its clear that Hearn is trying to set-up Brook-Gavin.

Disappointed Gavin didn't give Skeete a rematch, after the robbery last year.

Decent fight for Gavin. Clearly going down the IBF route (Heerden has the IBF international title) to setup a fight with Brook. He's a good fighter but doesn't beat any of the top 10 and gets stopped by Brook
