Morecambe boxer Isaac Lowe will return to the ring on July 21 when he fights Jonathan 'Nano' Santana in Edinburgh.

The WBC International Featherweight Champion and former Commonwealth champion will fight the Spaniard at the Meadowbank Centre on a Channel 5 televised production.

The Morecambe featherweight, known as 'The Westgate Warrior' last fought in December when he defeated Sandeep Singh Bhatti on points.

Prior to that, Lowe suffered two consecutive losses to Luis Alberto Lopez and Nick Ball.

The 29-year-old won the WBC International featherweight title when he defeated Lucan Rafael Baez in 2018. He beat Marco McCullough for the Commonwealth featherweight title in 2016.

Lowe, friend and training partner of world heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, has been preparing at The Gypsy King's gym at Morecambe Football Club, with help from local boxing trainer Bob Howard.

He has boxed on the undercard of many of Fury's biggest fights.

Lowe has a record of 22 wins, two defeats and three draws in 27 professional contests.

Santana has a professional record of nine wins, five defeats and one draw.

Lowe said: "I am back on the lights, can't wait to get started. Time to get back to the top."
