From BBC sport:
Martin Rogan looks set for a re-match with Commonwealth heavyweight champion Sam ***ton in Belfast in September.
***ton clinched the Commonwealth belt by beating Rogan last month after a doctor ruled that the Belfast man was unfit to continue in the eighth round.
Rogan had ***ton in trouble on several occasions prior to the stoppage.
The Belfast fighter's trainer John Breen says contracts have been drawn up for a fight and that a bout is on the cards for the Odyssey Arena.
BBC Sport understands that mooted dates are Friday 11 September and Saturday 19 September.
In the May bout, Rogan, 38, had the 25-year-old ***ton out on his feet in round eight but hesitated to go in for the kill.
***ton had a further opportunity to recover when he lost his gumshield and as soon as the fight restarted the doctor ruled that Rogan, whose left eye had almost completely closed, was unfit to continue.
After suffering his first defeat in 13 professional fights, Rogan was highly critical of referee Dave Parris' performance.
Rogan won the Commonwealth belt with a thrilling 11th-round stoppage of Matt Skelton in February.
I can't complain about the ref, Rogan should have put him to sleep, he was told it was his last round and he ****ed about when he could have finished him.
Next time i cant see him making the same mistake, or trying to outbox him like last time. cant see ***ton lasting 5 rounds if Rogie goes for the kill from the off, every time he came at ***ton, ***ton shat himself and couldn't handle it. don't know what rogie was playing at try to outbox him ffs. he doesnt even have a jab!
Good luck lad, maybe get a fight with tyson fury after, that would be a good scrap. Fury said he boxed the ears of him in sparring a couple of years ago. he talks alot of ****e though.
