Chris Eubank Junior will make the first defence of his WBA Interim world middleweight belt against Les Sherrington on May 9 at Wembley Arena.

Brighton fighter Eubank Jr only found out his opponent today after a proposed clash with Irishman Gary 'Spike' O'Sullivan fell through.

Procter Frank Warren revealed terms were agreed for the fight but not for the options should O'Sullivan win.

Australian Sherrington, 32, is the WBA Oceania middleweight champion with a record of 35 wins and seven losses.
