Hatton news

Frankie Gavin has been nominated to face European Union welterweight champion Rafal Jackiewicz.

The contest has been put out for purse bids with a deadline of August 28.

Gavin has fought twice this year but has not been the headline attraction on a bill for almost 18 months.

Had been linked with fights against Junior Witter and Matthew  Hatton but neither look likely to materialise.

35-year-old Jackiewicz, who was beaten by Kell Brook in Sheffield last October, won the title by defeating Italy's Luciano Abis in May.
