MIGHTY Atom, Ady Lewis, has a capital date next Tuesday (May 27) when he defends his British Flyweight crown.

Lewis, who won the title in January when he defeated Keith Knox in Glasgow, meets London's Mark Reynolds at the Marriott Hotel.

Reynolds won an eliminator in Mansfield just a fortnight ago but will start as a big under-dog against Bury's powerful youngster.

The fight comes as a big boost to Lewis who thought he would be defending his title belt at Everton Park Sports Centre earlier this month.

His original opponent on that bill, Commonwealth title holder Peter Culshaw, pulled out of the fight with suspected broken ribs,leaving Reynolds with his chance.
