BOLTON'S WBC super middleweight champion Robin Reid puts his title on the line again next month.

Unbeaten in 25 professional fights, He tops the bill at the 1,500-capacity Oldham Sports Centre.

As interest in the Egerton hard hitter continues to grow, the event will be an instant sell out at the tiny, atmospheric venue on August 30.

Reid, who won the world title with a victory over Italian Vincenzo Nardiello last October, served further notice of his huge talent with a points victory over Henry Wharton in May.

One of British boxing's biggest names, it has come as a surprise to see him fighting on a relatively small stage which was enforced due to the G-Mex being booked up.

He must wait to learn who his opponent will be although it could be a voluntary defence.
