KELVIN Young has been handed a dream opportunity that could see him box live on Sky Sports.
The Penhill pugilist will face former Norwich City footballer-turned-boxer Leon McKenzie in an English super-middleweight title eliminator at the Copper Box in London on January 30.
The 28-year-old, who missed out on fighting for his old Southern Area title next month, will head to the capital in the new year following a disappointing draw with Kieron Gray last month.
The fight is on the undercard of George Groves’ comeback fight following his defeat in a WBC world super-middleweight title fight with Badou Jack in Las Vegas.
