Matthews picks Marsh for defence

Half of Matthews' 18 wins have been knockouts

Liverpool's Derry Matthews will defend his WBU world featherweight title against Matthew Marsh on 13 October.

Matthews, who will be making his second title defence, said Marsh was "a real good kid" but is confident of victory at the capital's York Hall.

"He will be really up for the fight and give it his all but I reckon that I'm going to be too good for him and will bust him up," said Matthews, 23.

Matthews, nicknamed "Golden Boy", is undefeated in 18 fights.

He won the WBU title from Stephen Foster Jr, who will feature on the undercard, along with Nicky Cook and Commonwealth Games champion Jamie Cox.
