Lyndon Arthur next fight to take place at University of Bolton Stadium with date set

Lyndon Arthur will fight Braian Suarez at University of Bolton Stadium for the vacant IBO world light heavyweight title, MEN Sport understands.

The fight is scheduled for September 1 and will take place at Bolton Wanderers' home ground. The Mancunian will once again be putting on a show in the north west after earning a decision win over late replacement Boris Crighton at the same venue in March, where he dropped his opponent in the final round.

Arthur (22-1) had been scheduled to fight Suarez (18-1) for the vacant IBO belt before a medical issue forced the Argentinian to withdraw 24 hours before the event, leading Crighton to step at short-notice. It means that this world title fight has been more than six months in the making.
