The Bilbao Arena will cover Kerman Lejarraga (33.25 KOs-2) in the first defense of the European super welterweight champion title that the Biscayan fighter holds and is going to face the English Jack Flatley (17.4 KOs-1-1) in the star of the evening this Friday at the Miribilla venue.
About 4000 fans are expected to witness live this event in which the local idol will try to keep the belt won in Barcelona on September 11 when the 29-year-old ‘Morga’s Revolver’ won the French by majority decision Dylan Charrat.
It will be Lejarraga’s sixth fight at the super welterweight limit after Ibon Larrinaga’s pupil decided to move up the division after losing to Russian David Avanesyan in the rematch for the continental welterweight throne on September 28, 2019 in his last appearance in Bilbao.
The fight is anticipated as a clash of styles between the Basque striker, with 25 KOs in his career, and a 27-year-old Flatley, former champion of England, who will play his first fight outside the United Kingdom and will try to take advantage of his height advantage and wingspan to avoid the forcefulness of his rival.
In addition, the Spanish Super Middleweight Championship between the current champion, the Madrid Damien Biacho (11-0), and the Biscayan Guillermo Rivero, also undefeated with eight victories and one null in his record.
