Gerard Carroll will fight twice in just over a week after being added to another show.

The undefeated prospect, from Liverpool, is 2-0 since turning professional in April and will have the opportunity to double his tally with two fights in the space of eight days.

Carroll, 24, campaigns at super-lightweight and had a spot on a world title fight undercard at Everton Football Club’s Goodison Park back in May, just five weeks after registering a points win on his pro bow on April 2 at the city’s ECHO Arena.

He will return to the scene of his first victory in the paid ranks on October 15, after being confirmed as an addition to the undercard of Tony Bellew’s first WBC cruiserweight title defence against America’s former WBA interim title challenger BJ Flores, which is exclusively live on Sky Sports.

But the MGM Marbella-managed man, who trains at No Limits gym and recently sparred Tommy Coyle in the build-up to the Hull man’s unsuccessful British title challenge against Tyrone Nurse on July 30 at the First Direct Arena in Leeds, will first try to advance to 3-0 when he fights at Greenbank Sports Academy.

The show, which takes place on October 7 is the first night of professional boxing being promoted by the Liverpool arm of the MGM empire and will be headlined by undefeated super-welterweight rising star James Metcalf (13-0, 6 KOs).

Meanwhile, new MGM signing Tommy Carus and former British middleweight title challenger Tom Doran will feature alongside 19-year-old Brandon Daord.

Elsewhere, John Quigley and Ryan Moorhead will also box on the bill, while Boxing Scene understands that further names for the card are set to be revealed in due course.

And should all go to plan for Carroll on the first Friday of October, the following Saturday he’ll be on the same card as the likes of WBC International super-middleweight champion Rocky Fielding and heavyweight favourite David Price, as well as gym-mate Tom Farrell and Birkenhead lightweight Sean Dodd, who defends his WBC International title against former British super-featherweight champion Gary ‘Five Star’ Sykes.
