Terry Flanagan aims to be crowned WBO world lightweight champion in front of his home fans when he faces Jose Zepeda at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester later this summer.
The fight which takes place on July 11 marks 10 years since Ricky Hatton’s win over Kostya Tsyzu and Flanagan will be looking to emulate his hero when he takes on his American rival.
“It’s a dream to fight for the world title on my own doorstep and it will be an electric atmosphere on the night at the Velodrome,” said Flanagan.
"Ricky Hatton is a big hero of mine and I was at his fight against Kostya Tszyu and that was one amazing night. If I put in a top performance and win the title on the 10th anniversary year of that fight it will be an incredible feeling."
