Marcus Morrison will get the chance to bounce back from back-to-back defeats later this month.

The Hattersley man succumbed his WBC International Silver middleweight crown to Jason Welborn on points back in March, losing a unanimous decision at the Manchester Arena.

Morrison lost his undefeated record on the undercard to Jorge Linares’ world lightweight title victory over Anthony Crolla.

The 24-year-old then returned on June 30, hoping to get back to winning ways, in a four-round contest against Tyan Booth in Derby.

But Booth tore up the script and outpointed Morrison by 39 points to 38 to inflict a second successive defeat on the Joe Gallagher-trained puncher.

And now Morrison (14-2, 10 KOs) will come back on July 29 at Bowlers Exhibition Centre in Manchester, as part of the undercard to Zelfa Barrett’s return which also features the second pro outing of Stacey Copeland.

There are 11 other fights on the card and it is expected to be a great night of boxing.
