Russia’s Vasif Mamedov (3-49-5) will be in the opposite corner for the Frank Warren-promoted prospect.
Country lad Lavin is predicting an exciting career for himself and — when asked about his punching potential by irish-boxing.com — says he can spark opponents out until the cows come home.
He said: “I’m told a lot that I do hit very hard and I know I do hurt a lot of tough lads.
“When I was a kid they used to call it farmer power!
“I think I was always very heavy-handed. It got me out of a few sticky spots over the years but I certainly don’t rely on it too much.
“It’s just an asset to have in the arsenal.
“It is needed for the pro game as without power behind you and the ability to put someone asleep you’re probably in the wrong end of the sport.”
Irish duo Tiernan Bradley and Kieran Molloy will be in action in Rotherham as GBM Sports enter the boxing promotion business.
