Nathaniel May will snap a lengthy hiatus sooner rather than later.

The Australian featherweight recently inked a managerial pact with MTK Global.

May, 23, is a former WBO Asia Pacific champion and has been out since last December.

But he will be back at the Titanic Exhibition Centre, exclusively live on BoxNation, on October 5.

The card will be the second of MTK’s 12-date broadcasting deal with the boxing-only channel and will be topped by David Price’s return.

The former British and Commonwealth heavyweight champion has been out of action since March.

Price was knocked out by Alexander Povetkin in a world title eliminator at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, exclusively live on Sky Sports Box Office.

He was then meant to return on July 27 at the Premier Suite at the Macron Stadium in Bolton but a back injury suffered during fight week put paid to that.

And now the 35-year-old has been matched up with Irishman Sean Turner on a card that features a whole host of MTK Global-managed fighters.

Steven Ward, who won the vacant BUI Celtic light-heavyweight title with a points win over Stevie Collins Jr. earlier this month, will see action again, while Padraig McCrory has been added.

Tyrone McCullagh, who is now trained in Liverpool by Derry Mathews, George Vaughan and Gary Thornhill, will come back on the bill after winning the vacant Celtic super-bantamweight title against Joe Ham back in June and Marco McCullough meets Declan Geraghty in a mouthwatering super-featherweight dust-up between an Ulsterman and a Dubliner.

Further additions to the bill –– also featuring Paddy Gallagher and Conrad Cummings –– will be revealed in due course.
