Khaleel Majid will face Ramiro Garcia Lopez on February 21 at the Bolton Whites Hotel in Bolton, England.
The card will be promoted by Conlan Boxing and broadcast live on ProBox TV. The event will be the broadcaster’s first event in England after two successful shows in Ireland.
Majid returns to his hometown of Bolton to continue his push towards the British junior welterweight title that Dalton Smith recently vacated. The 13-0 (4 KOs) fighter who is trained by Buddy McGirt stopped former European champion Tom Farrell in 2023 but has only boxed once since due to personal issues. Majid will now look to build momentum, starting with Lopez on February 21.
Garcia, 8-18 (7 KOs), of Guadalajara, Mexico is no stranger to the United Kingdom, with 13 of his last 14 bouts dating back to mid-2024 taking place there.
Fellow 140 pound fighter Alex Murphy will also feature on the card. The 12-0 prospect will take on Rajesh Kumar, 16-4-1 (7 KOs), and could set up a contest against Majid down the line with a victory.
