Exciting London Heavyweight AJ Carter has the toughest test of his career when he takes on Ugandan Champion Kenneth Odeke on the Josh
Goodwin promoted “Azonto time” card at York Hall this Saturday night.
Carter 6-0 (4 KO) and Odeke 4-1 (4 KO) are set to clash in a Heavyweight mouth watering clash. Promoter Josh said “It is full credit to AJ for taking this fight. His original opponent pulled out on Wednesday and Odeke was the only option. It is a far tougher fight than ideal at this point of AJ’s career but he would rather take the fight than wait for an easier option in three weeks time.
Odeke won the Ugandan Heavyweight title with a fifth round stoppage in February and sees Carter as his passport to fights with Anthony Joshua and Hughie Fury.
Carter has progressed well under father/trainer Carlton Warren and manager Derek Williams.
With 8 stoppages from 11 fights between them it promises to be xplosive on a night which features two International Masters title fights.
