Tommy Frank’s fight with Maximino Flores for the IBO flyweight title will be screened live on Eurosport after promoter Dennis Hobson agreed a deal with the broadcaster.

Frank, who holds the Commonwealth super-flyweight title, will challenge Mexican Flores for the IBO title at Ponds Forge in Sheffield on March 27.

“We’re constantly working on delivering the best exposure for our fighters,” said Hobson, the former promoter of Ricky Hatton and Clinton Woods.

“Eurosport are a great platform with a lot of history in boxing, and I’m delighted to have teamed up with them.

"We’ve proven with the cards that we’ve put on with Freesports over the last couple of years, that we’re consistent with the quality of our shows with the resources that we’re working with.

“I’ve got a great boxing partner now in Steve Crump, who I work very well with.  I’ve worked at the highest level in boxing all over the world, and this is a major statement what we’re doing on March 27 with Eurosport and this world title show.

“We’re also hoping it will be shown live on BBC iPlayer, with more details to follow, so the audience should be vast.  We’re looking forward to working with both companies in the future, by putting on some smashing shows and developing world class talent.”

Frank, 26, is unbeaten in 13 fights, having beaten another Mexican, Martin Tecuapetla in his last fight in November.

Flores has boxed in England before, losing to Andrew Selby on points in 2017. He won the IBO title in August, beating Carlo Caesar Penalosa on a technical decision in the Philippines.
