JASON Welborn will defend his British Middleweight title in a rematch with Tommy Langford in Birmingham in September.

The pair will clash as chief support on the undercard on Amir Khan's fight with Samuel Vargas at Arena Birmingham on September 8, live on Sky Sports.

Welborn will defend the crown he claimed via split decision in Walsall on BCB Promotions ‘Neutral Ground’ Show in May.

"We are delighted to have secured the rematch on such a big show," BCB's head of boxing, Errol Johnson said. "We thank Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing for adding this fight to their bill. The first fight was worthy of television, so it's great to know that the wider boxing public will be able to witness the second instalment."

Bill topper Khan is back in action following his blistering return to the ring in April in Liverpool, destroying Phil Lo Greco in just 39 seconds after nearly two years out of action.

The former unified Super-Lightweight ruler is setting his sights on Welterweight World honours this year and steps up that pursuit in Birmingham when he meets Canadian based Colombian Vargas, the 29 year old ranked number 10 in the WBA and having shared the ring with current IBF king Errol Spence and Khan’s old foe Danny Garcia.

The undercard also sees Ryan Kelly defend the Midlands Area Super-Welterweight title he won in May via stoppage at Villa Park against unbeaten Dordon man Kelcie Ball, Stourbridge's Sam Eggington and Super-Bantamweight star Gamal Yafai appear on the bill after boxing this coming Saturday, with more title fights and stars to be added.

Tickets are on sale priced £40, £60, £80, £100 and £200 VIP from StubHub.co.uk or arenabham.co.uk.
