Jazza Dickens has been handed a huge world title shot after it was confirmed that he will now fight for the vacant IBO crown against Lerato Dlamini.
Dickens faces the dangerous Dlamini at the Eventim Olympia on Saturday, October 15 as part of Probellum’s second Liverpool show, which is being headlined by Peter McGrail. The fight for Dickens (31-4, 12KOs) comes on the back of April’s knockout win over former European champion Andoni Gago at the M&S Bank Arena.
However, the 31-year-old is now braced for another tough night against the South African, but he believes it is a bout he must win if he is to return top of the division.
