BRAMFORD boxer Steve Spartacus is booked for Sunday afternoon fight action next month.
The 25-year-old light heavyweight will be bidding to make it 11 wins out of 11 since moving into the professional ranks after a prominent amateur career.
Spartacus, whose real name is Steve Smith, is lined up to take on heavyweight Tony Booth in Eugene Maloney's December 8 show at the York Hall, Bethnal Green.
Success here will set Spartacus up for a fight with Radcliffe Green next February for the vacant Southern Area light heavyweight crown.
The last action for the Suffolk boxer, in September, saw him knock-out Kelvin Stonestreet at the York Hall.
Spartacus has just returned from a training session in Tenerife where he was coached by Keith James, the former professional middleweight from Needham Market.
Tickets for the Spartacus-Tony Booth contest can be booked by ringing 07801 580320.
Transport to East London can be provided if required.
