Derry Mathews v Stephen Jennings preview
Channel: stickmedialtd
Date: 2011-07-19

English lightweight champion Derry Mathews will defend his title against fellow-Liverpudlian Stephen 'Jenko' Jennings at The Greenbank Sports Centre in Liverpool after Gavin Rees' injury forced him to withdraw from a European title fight with the former WBU champion.

The 27 year-old's promoters, Vaughan Boxing, hastily re-organised the bout after learning of Rees' unfortunate hand injury and Mathews will now defend his English title rather than vacate. 

Jennings, also 27, is undefeated in six bouts and will face his toughest test on July 30th when he meets 'Dirty' Derry.
