Ludlow's Craig Morris must travel for a Midlands welterweight title shot.

Morris will co-challenge for the vacant area crown with Nathan McIntosh in Stoke-on-Trent on Saturday, October 1, writes Craig Birch.

The undefeated 24-year-old goes for Midlands glory in his seventh professional contest, but had hoped the fight would be staged on his turf.

The town's first professional boxer for more than 75 years headlined Ludlow's first pro boxing bill since the 1930s at the Racecourse in March and claimed a British Challenge strap.

But Morris will hit the road to battle for his next belt against fellow unbeaten fighter McIntosh, from Nottingham.

They will feature on a Ricky Hatton promoted show at the Fenton Manor Complex.
