The 33-year-old, who trains at the Academy Luton and Peacock Gym in London, takes on an opponent at Bethnal Green with a record of two wins, one draw and one defeat.

Conroy suffered a third round stoppage to Joe Duffy at the Camden Centre, Kings Cross, on his pro debut last month, but is looking forward to the bout as he said: “They are listing him as an exciting middleweight prospect.

“You are always up against it, you are always matched higher than your level.

“I don’t go there to lose. I just want to do it for as long as I can.

“It will be a hard fight and a good fight.”
