A British title fight is coming to the Altrincham Ice Dome on Saturday August 23rd, live on DAZN worldwide as domestic junior welterweight  champion Jack Rafferty will defend against Mark Chamberlain. Also the Comonwealth champion, Rafferty (26-0, 17 KOs) secured his British champion status with a stoppage victory over Henry Turner in October of last year in Liverpool, before making a successful defense against Reece McMillan. He's since defended the Commonwealth crown against Cory O’Regan in Manchester, wining both via stoppage. Chamberlain (17-1, 12 KOs)  was on the cusp of challenging for a lightweight title before he suffered a defeat to Josh Padley at Wembley Stadium last September. He returned to winning ways at junior welterweight with a decision victory over Miguel Angel Scaringi in April.

 

“Jack Rafferty going up against Mark Chamberlain is an absolute humdinger of a fight,” said promoter Frank Warren. “Two all-action big punchers going at it for the British title with all the ingredients there for a thriller. It is a fight I am delighted to get done for the fans and I know it will deliver the goods. We are at a new venue for us in Altrincham and Jack’s army of fans will be sure to pack the place out. The winner will be in prime position to crack on to world level contention.”
