Undefeated Edinburgh boxer Jason Easton will fight Belgium’s top-rated contender Steve Jamoye for the vacant IBO Intercontinental super lightweight title on the undercard of Bad Blood in Glasgow next month.

Scotland’s rising star Josh Taylor from East Lothian squares-up to Londoner Ohara Davies in the headline attraction at Braehead Arena on Saturday, 8 July 2017.

But Easton is undefeated in nine professional contests and in his last bout he stopped the dangerous Zoltan Szabo in two rounds at the city’s Meadowbank Arena.

That impressive win followed Easton’s first title success in October of last year when he stopped Wales’ Rhys Saunders for the vacant Celtic super lightweight title.

Belgium-based Jamoye is the younger brother of former double world title challenger and European champion Stephane Jamoye.

The younger Jamoye is the current Belgium and BeNeLux super lightweight champion and is in the form of his life having recently beaten fellow Belgian Jean Pierre Bauwens.
A former WBC world youth super lightweight champion, Jamoye also holds an impressive win over another compatriot Farid Hakimi who lost a contentious majority decision for the WBA International title to Liverpool’s Tom Farrell.
