BLACKWOOD'S welter-weight Bradley Pryce has been handed a British title shot in Belfast on February 1.

Enzo Calzaghe's 21-year-old charge will have the chance to thwart Neil Sinclair from earning his Lonsdale belt as the Ulsterman prepares the make the third defence of the title he snatched from Harry Dhami in November 2001.

It will mark a remarkable recovery from Welshman Pryce who suffered his first professional defeat to Ted Bami last August.

But he moved up a weight and bounced back by storming to a fourth-round victory over Craig Lynch in Derby last November.
