Nick Blackwell is handed a dangerous assignment for the first defense of his British middleweight title. The streaking middleweight will take on unbeaten countryman Damon Jones, with their bout topping a July 25 bill at Derby Arena in Derby, England.

Undefeated heavyweight prospect Hughie Fury—whose cousin, Tyson Fury is also unbeaten and a top heavyweight contender—appears in the evening's chief support, against an opponent to be determined.

Both bouts–announced on Thursday by Hennessy Sports, the lead promoter for the event—will air live on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom, with Spike U.K. to air select undercard fights. [Click Here To Read More]

Good to hear that Hughie Fury is back in action.

Looking forward to seeing Blackwell defend his title. I already had respect for him before he faced Ryder, but he really won me over with that performance.

With enough momentum he could get himself a Saunders rematch, especially if the latter doesn't deliver against Lee. Saunders would therefore need a comeback fight, and who better than one of the guys who gave him the most problems.
