Waterlooville lightweight Mark Chamberlain's opponent confirmed for live BT Sports fight later this month

The unbeaten lightweight's opponent has now been confirmed for his upcoming bout at the Copper Box Arena on Saturday, March 27.

Chamberlain had to wait several weeks prior to the confirmation he would be stepping into the ring with the Durham-based fighter.

Ellison is well travelled and experienced having had 45 bouts in his professional career, although he's only managed 11 wins and six of his 31 defeats have been inside the distance.

For power puncher Chamberlain, with a perfect 7-0 pro record, it provides him with another opportunity as he bids to continue his push to get his name in title contention.

This will be the Waterlooville fighter's third fight since boxing returned in the UK last July.

Chamberlain beat Stu Greener in what was the first bout after the sport's return in Britain following the the coronavirus pandemic stoppage.

The promising lightweight then overcame Shaun Cooper on points in his maiden eight-rounder in October.
