“It is fantastic to have the world champion, the man who is the talk of not just boxing but British sport,” said promoter Nathan Greathead.

“I was always confident he’d be coming here with his IBF belt.

“To have beaten the champion, Charles Martin, inside two rounds shows just how good and explosive he is.

“AJ is the first man in history to be the reigning Olympic champion and then to win the world professional title.

“We’ve been lucky to have a small number of tickets become available but I urge people to act fast.”

The 26-year-old will be the latest in an illustrious line of British world champions Greathead has brought to Hartlepool for talk-ins/dinner dates after appearances by Nigel Benn, Frank Bruno, Joe Calzaghe and Ricky Hatton.

And Nathan praised Brian Morton at the Staincliffe Hotel for staging the event at the seaside venue.
