Glenn Catley has been lined up to fight American Manuel Lopez in the first defence of his World Boxing Council international middleweight title. The Bristol boxer, who won the title against African champion Bocco George last January, will fight the unbeaten Lopez at the city's Whitchurch Sports Centre on Thursday, 5 June.

Andrew Golota of Poland will face Ray Mercer at Atlantic City Convention Hall on 16 August. As a result, the fight between Roy Jones Jnr and new WBC light-heavyweight champion Montell Griffin has been moved from Atlantic City to the Foxwoods Casino Resort in Ledyard, Connecticut, the newspaper said.
