 Witter has successfully defended his title three times |
Junior Witter will defend his European light welterweight title against Italy's Gianluca Branco in a potential world title eliminator early next year. Witter hopes a victory would lead to a match-up against WBC champion Arturo Gatti or his main challenger Floyd Mayweather, who could meet next summer.
"I have won British, Commonwealth and European honours," said Witter.
"I now have the chance to complete the set by lining up a shot at a genuine world title."
Witter won the European title in June, and made his third successful defence against Poland's Krzysztof Bienias at Wembley last month.
