The Bloxwich boxer is set to face Keates on Friday, 4th September after he lifted the belt back in December in a convincing victory over, Josh McLaren, a previously unbeaten fighter, in Burslem.
Paddock spoke to Saddlers.co.uk about the fight, he said; "It's a fight I'm already looking forward to. It seems like a long time since I won the belt and I can't wait to defend it in my hometown, at my football club."
Paddock and Keates headline Black Country Boxing's four-fight card in the Stadium Suite. Old Hill Lightweight, Manny Zaber, Gloucester light heavyweight, Scott Gibbins Jr, and Ludlow light middleweight, Craig Morris, also feature.
