Anthony Fowler will defend his World Boxing Association (WBA) International Super Welterweight title this Saturday against Jorge Fortea, at Wembley Arena.

The fight will be part of the program organized by Matchroom in London and will be the first defense of the regional belt for the Briton, who won it in November 2019. The Liverpool native comes into the bout with a four-fight winning streak between 2019 and 2020 and wants to stand out in this title defense.

His opponent will be Spain’s Fortea, a well-experienced boxer who has already fought for regional title fights and last fought in October, which is why he will face a challenge like the one he has in front of him.

Fowler has a record of 13 wins, 1 loss, and 10 KOs, while Fortea has 21 wins, 2 losses, 1 draw, and 7 KOs.
