Adnan Amar has finally landed himself a fight.The tall, fast-handed English welterweight champion from Nottingham (pictured in his Midland Area title-winning effort against Darren Gethin in 2007) has been out of action since taking care of then-streaking Tom Glover at the Trent FM Arena in October 2009.
Capable and awkward with venom in his cultured shots, the Ingle-trained puncher has seen several bouts fall through since then but returns to competitive action on the undercard of Kell Brook's toughest-looking test to date - a 12-rounder with former IBF world champion Lovemore N'Dou at Sheffield's Hillsborough Leisure Centre.
Though an opponent has yet to be finalised for the ex-Midland Area and British Masters boss' return on the Matchroom-promoted show on June 25, Amar, 23-1 (7), will just be glad to have a date penciled firmly in.
The 28-year-old has scandalously been overlooked for a shot at the British and Commonwealth 10st 7lbs crowns on several occasions despite resounding wins over then-ten-fight undefeated Mark Lloyd in 2008 (for the vacant English strap), the said five-round retirement dismissal of Glover 19 months ago and, possibly most impressive of them all, a three-round blowout of capable Canadian Ian MacKillop in 2008.
However, despite being called out by Blackburn's unbeaten Ali Shah, who used to train with Adnan at the famed Ingle gym in Sheffield, his aims will be much higher and his appearance on the Sky Sports-televised card could finally lead to a meaningful title outing.
