Michael Conlan fights Diego Alberto Ruiz in Belfast on Saturday, August 3rd for the vacant WBA and WBO inter-continental featherweight titles.
Conlan was originally slated to face Vladimir Nikitin, the Russian who controversially defeated him at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro three years ago. However, Nikitin was forced to withdraw due to an injury.
Argentian Ruiz, who holds a record of 21-2, was subsequently substituted in as an opponent for Conlan for what will be his second fight in Belfast since turning pro.
The fight is part of the Féile an Phobail community arts festival.
