Garner to fight former world champion Dickens

Ryan Garner is set to face Jazza Dickens in his next professional bout. Promoter Frank Warren believes this matchup serves as a critical evaluation of Garner's potential to reach world-class status.

Garner previously headlined a successful card at St Mary's Stadium in June, where he defeated Michael Magnesi over 12 rounds in front of 13,000 spectators. Following that victory, Magnesi joined Garner's training camp in Southampton under the guidance of Wayne Batten.

Warren also expressed an ambition to return to the same venue for a larger event in 2027.
