Chelli and Le Doux will clash for English honours next year
Londoner Zak Chelli (7-1) drops back down to 168lbs to challenge for the vacant English championship against Staffordshire's Jamal Le Doux (8-1).
Frank Warren's 21-year-old prospect, Chelli, stepped up to light-heavyweight in September in an eliminator for the British title against unbeaten Kody Davies (10-0), but lost a close points decision despite decking his Welsh counterpart in the second right, courtesy of a well-timed uppercut.
Now, the university student from Fulham goes back to his original division to bid for the English crown against 28-year-old 'Lethal' Le Doux, a current Midlands Area champion who next fights Boxing Connected's road warrior Danny 'The Cannon' Shannon (6-7-1) on November 30.
