Tom Stalker meets fellow unbeaten Chris Jenkins

London Olympic 2012 captain Tom Stalker will face fellow unbeaten fighter Chris Jenkins in a British light-welterweight title eliminator on Queensberry Promotionsโ€™ โ€˜Magnificent Seven Fight Againโ€™ bill at the Liverpool Echo Arena on October 25.

Frank Warren won the purse bids this month for the contest and Liverpool favourite Stalker will be looking to put himself in line for a dream shot at the Lonsdale Belt in early 2015.

Stalker said: โ€œItโ€™s always been a dream of mine to fight for the British title and I know by beating Jenkins itโ€™s going to put me in line to realise that dream.ย Jenkins is a really good fighter so this has all the ingredients to be a fantastic fight for the fans, with two unbeaten fighters putting it all on the line. But I know Iโ€™ve got all the tools to win the fight and Iโ€™m confident of doing the business!โ€
ย 
Welshman Jenkins has been pursuing the fight with former amateur star Stalkerย for some time and Jenkinsโ€™ manager Paul Boyce is confident of a win for his man:ย โ€œChris has been chasing the Stalker fight so itโ€™s great the board have ordered it. Weโ€™ve been chasing and asking for the fight since Stalker turned pro and weโ€™re very confident of a win.โ€
ย
