Watch Harrison v Bonin live on BBC One at 2255 BST on 19 June

The Briton had tried to set up a clash with compatriot Matt Skelton for the British and Commonwealth belts.

But he has had to settle instead for Bonin, who is unbeaten in 26 fights and has hopes of springing a huge upset.

"Fighting Harrison was an opportunity I couldn't turn down," said Bonin. "My name will skyrocket after I take him out and destroy his future."

Harrison, meanwhile, said he looked forward to putting the first blemish on his opponent's record.

"I expect a tough fight as there is a lot at stake when two undefeated prospects fight and that usually means fireworks," said Harrison.

"But having completed my first 12 rounds last month against Julius Francis, I'm ready to bring the heat and send my fans home early with an explosive knockout."

On the undercard, Wayne "Pocket Rocket" McCullough takes on Ugandan John MacKay of Uganda in his first outing since his March 2003 loss to Scott Harrison.
