Eubank, 26, has one defeat on his record while Doran, 28, is unbeaten

Chris Eubank Jr will make the first defence of his British middleweight title against Tom Doran at The O2 in London on 25 June.

It is Eubank Jr's first fight since he beat fellow Englishman Nick Blackwell to land the title in March.

Blackwell suffered a bleed on the skull following the bout at Wembley Arena and was placed in an induced coma.

The 25-year-old did not require surgery and is now out of hospital but he says he will not fight again.

Eubank's only defeat came against Billy Joe Saunders in 2014.

Welshman Doran enters his first British title fight after stopping Luke Keeler inside two rounds and has won all of his 17 professional fights.
