The unbeaten featherweight will face an unidentified opponent on the Matchroom show, headed by Brook v Siarhei Rabchanka.

Galahad (Abdul Barry Awad) has arguably never had the public exposure he has deserved.

But that could change if he can execute his sixth straight stoppage against a respected name.

The 27-year-old is looking for his 24th win and a chance to market his talent on TV.

He is certainly in the mood for it, posting on twitter: “With Dominic Ingle I keep grinding and grounded. Too hungry to be denied. Too driven to be ignored.”

The Brook show at Sheffield Arena, as expected, will also see a local derby. Rotherham fighters Lee Appleyard ( English Lightweight title holder) and Atif Shafiq will square off at super-lightweight.

Appleyard has a won 12 lost three record, while Shafiq has won 18 lost two.

Sam Eggington - at one point a potential opponent for Brook at light middleweight - is on the card too.
