Aussie fan-favourite Stevie Spark will make his US debut in November when he faces undefeated American Montana Love.
Toowoomba’s Spark, 25, will be making his first appearance since signing a promotional deal with Matchroom Boxing.
Spark is 15-2 as a professional, having won three straight since returning to super-lightweight after earning admirers when he jumped up two weight classes to take on Tim Tszyu on short notice last July.

In Love, Spark has a significant challenge - the Cleveland native boasts a record of 18-0-1, the only blip coming via a split draw with Kenneth Sims Jr.
The 27-year-old, nicknamed “Too Pretty”, will be eyeing off a shot at the IBF title at 140-pounds (63.5kg), but the hard-hitting Spark is sure to have other ideas.
