Last time at The Troxy, he lived up to his Duracell nickname with his impeccable fitness and won his fight with a unanimous verdict against Czech Martin Parlagi. It was an entertaining night for all and one he hopes to replicate for his latest title defence.

His fight is the first night to be hosted by Khan Promotions in the UK, where all proceedings will be going to the Amir Khan Foundation.

Jones said: “The support last time out was fantastic and always means so much to me, I am hoping for the same come the 22nd of October.

“I am delighted to be defending my title at The Troxy, but to have Khan Promotions hosting and his foundation associated with the night is something really special.”
