The 24 year-old featherweight joins Errol Johnson’s growing stable and headlines ‘The Avengers’ show at the Town Hall on Saturday, 3rd October.
The southpaw has enjoyed a solid professional career to date, winning four of his opening six contests. He lost on points on his recent quest to be crowned Midlands Area Champion but, after taking the fight in just his sixth professional outing, Holt earned plenty of plaudits. Now, under Johnson’s guidance, the Brummie boxer is looking to push on.
“I’m really pleased to have signed with Errol,” he told www.uko-boxing.com. “He’s showed a lot of faith in me and to get top billing on my first show with him is amazing.
“I’m ready to kick on and am looking forward to what the future holds.”
Holt takes on Swindon’s Joe Beeden over six rounds as he looks to make a winning start to life under Johnson.
Tickets, priced at £30 and £60 Ringside, are available from Walsall Town Hall Box Office on 0845 111 2900.
Also in action on ‘The Avengers’ is Wolverhampton welterweight, Sid Bowater. The 25 year-old returns to the scene of his debut victory, an impressive points win over Iran’s Ali Wyatt in April, when he takes on veteran Londoner, Frankie Greeves.
