Kenny Anderson has his hands full this Sunday

Edinburgh's former Commonwealth super-middleweight title challenger Kenny Anderson will be kept busy this Sunday after all.

The opposite corner for his proposed bout on Steve Wood's VIP show at Colne this afternoon remained empty until a couple of days ago.

In steps former Prizefighter contender Joe Rea (7-4-1). The Birmingham-based Irishman has lost three of his last four after going eight unbeaten, though all of the defeats have been to unbeaten boxers - Martin Murray (in the quarter-final of Prizefighter), Dominik Britsch, Grzegorz Proksa and Patrick Nielsen.

It is Anderson's first appearance since he was stopped in the sixth round of his challenge for George Groves Commonwealth title in November last year.
