TERRY Holmes will meet a teenager with an impressive pedigree at the national schools' boxing finals.
The Stevenage ABC fighter will face Amir Khan's younger brother, Haroon, at the end of the month.
He powered his way to a final appearance with a stunning first round win in his national semi-final against Blandford's Gary Delange at the York Hall, Bethnal Green.

Clubmate Tyson Price made it two Stevenage boxers in the final with a points win (10-7) over the well-built Jack Darcey (Portsmouth ABC).
P Three other Stevenage boxers were in action on the West Ham show in London.
