Three prizes are up for grabs in a meaty night of boxing action next month.

Fifteen-fight unbeaten Dom Hunt, who trains at Sheffield's Riley's gym, will take part in a British welterweight title eliminator against Ben Vaughan, from Northampton, at the Magna Centre, Rotherham on June 29.

Doncaster's James Flint, who put in a sensational winning performance against Campbell Hatton recently, squares off with Airdrie's Kyle Boyd, for the IBO Intercontinental super lightweight title.

Rhodes said: "This will be a big night for a lot of local fighters.

"We have some interesting characters on the bill. It is an important evening for Dom with a shot at the British title on the line.

"James Flint comes off a very good fight with Hatton, he is an aggressive, fit, and determined young lad."

While Donny/Rotherham's Conner Kelsall will hope to enhance his 11 winning streak.

Meanwhile, Parson Cross's Keanen Wainwright will be back in the ring on July 13.

Wainright lost a gruelling 10 rounder with Louis Horn at the same venue, but is keen to bounce back.

He will face Billy Pickles, from Leeds.

Mikey Harrison - highly rated by Sheffield promoter Dennis Hobson - will make his professional debut in a four rounder at Skate Central, Queens Road, too.

*Rotherham's knock-out merchant Taz Nadeem will pit his wits against Patryk Polasik at York Hall, Bethnal Green later this month on an Izzy Asif show.

Sheffield trained Stevi Levy will take on Tysie Gallagher, the winner walking away with the British and Commonwealth Super Bantamweight titles.
