British middleweight champion Chris Eubank will return to the ring for the first time since defeating Nick Blackwell when he takes on Tom Doran on June 25.

Eubank Jr claimed his first British belt with a 10th-round stoppage of Blackwell, who has since retired from boxing after being placed in an induced coma in the aftermath of the bout. And his first title defence will come on the undercard of Anthony Joshua's IBF heavyweight title defence against Dominic Breazale. GettyImages-532537544 His opponent, Doran, has a 17-0-0 career record with seven knockouts. He takes on Eubank Jr having stopped Luke Keeler in the second round last time out. It is not the only all-British bout on the card, with George Groves taking on Martin Murray in a title eliminator for the WBA super-middleweight world championship. Conor Benn, who made his professional debut on the Anthony Joshua v Charles Martin undercard, will also feature lower down the bill.
