Frank Warren's Queensberry Promotions has announced its return to Belfast. The SSE Arena will once again take centre stage for a big night of boxing on Friday, June 28.
O’Leary last fought in Birmingham back in March when he overcame the unbeaten Hovhannes Martirosyan in an impressive fashion, stopping the Belgian in round nine. Foley , the Irish southpaw based in Sydney, Australia, is a former regional IBF and IBO champion and was most recently in action in Manchester, where he was defeated on points by Jack Catterall.
Meanwhile, the card will also feature Belfast boxer James McGivern who will make a first defence of his BUI Celtic belt when he goes up against Cardiff’s Rahid Omar in a battle of the unbeaten lightweights over eight rounds. McGivern, 26, seized the title in November of last year with victory over the previously undefeated Josh Sandford in Letterkenny.
Five further recent Frank Warren signings will feature on the night. Liverpool bantamweight Jack Turner - who is yet to experience the second round of a fight in the pros - along with Jadier Herrera , a Cuban southpaw, who both train out of the Rotunda Gym in Liverpool. Plus Steven Cairns from Cork, as well as with Bedfordshire welterweight Nicola Barke and the decorated amateur star from Ballyhaunis Eoghan Lavin , who made his professional debut at York Hall in April.
