Morecambe boxer Isaac Lowe will fight Lee McGregor on the undercard of Tyson Fury's rematch with Oleksandr Usyk.

'The Westgate Warrior' was due to fight the Scot in December 2023 but the fight was called off when McGregor suffered an injury.

Now the two top British featherweights will square off in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia on December 21 in what's bound to be an all-action bout.

Posting on his Facebook page, Isaac said: "The fans are in for a treat.

"This is a fight for the fans, see you all soon."

Isaac also thanked Turki Alalshikh, (chairman of Saudi Arabia's General Entertainment Authority), Spencer Brown (Tyson's manager) and Tyson himself for helping to make the fight happen.

Former Commonwealth and WBC International Featherweight Champion Lowe, 30, won his most recent fight, beating Hasibullah Ahmadi by points decision in May to improve his professional record to 25 wins, three draws and two defeats from 30 fights.

This bout was on the undercard of the first fight between Isaac's friend and training partner Tyson and Usyk.

Fury will be hoping to regain the world heavyweight championship after losing a close split decision to Usyk in their first encounter.

McGregor, 27, has a record of 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat in 15 fights.

The full card for the December 21 show has been announced, see below.
