The two bright prospects have both made undefeated starts to their career, Abrol winning his first three fights and Bowen-Price his first four.

Both were in action at the Winter Gardens in April and May of this year, as big-time boxing makes its long-awaited return to Blackpool.

Jackson Hulme, meanwhile, returns from a four-year absence to compete in his third career bout.

Gym mate Hannah Baggaley will be aiming to get back to winning ways after suffering a surprise defeat to Beccy Ferguson in her second fight in March.
