Lockleaze’s Lee Haskins in London defence

By Andy Probert  Wednesday Jul 13, 2016

Lockleaze’s Lee Haskins is set to defend his IBF World Bantamweight title at the O2 Arena where he will fight former champion Stuart Hall.

The grudge match is set for September 10 where the fighters will appear on the undercard to Kell Brook’s showdown with Gennady Golovkinthe.

Hall will be seeking revenge after losing to the Haskins in a 2012 European level bout. Hall went on to lose the belt in 2014, before Haskins picked it up on home turf in 2015.

Promoter Eddie Hearn said: “It’s a real 50-50 clash and with the domestic 118lbs scene really hotting up, it’s a must win for both fighters.”

Tickets go on general sale from midday on Friday at www.theo2.co.uk with the fight also being broadcast live on Sky Box Office.
