 Brian Magee is undefeated in his professional career |
Britain's top two super-middleweights Brian Magee and Robin Reid are to clash in the King's Hall in Belfast on Saturday 16 June. Magee, the unbeaten IBO super middleweight champion, admitted the bout would be his toughest so far.
Plans to hold the contest in Belfast's 10,000-seater Odyssey Arena had to be scrapped as it was already booked.
"This fight has been talked about for a long time and it will be my biggest test," said 28-year-old Magee.
Magee retained his IBO title for the seventh time last month after a tough duel with Nigerian Jerry Elliott, stretching his unbeaten professional record to 22 fights.
Now he is relishing the prospect of another big night in the King's Hall.
"It is always good to fight at home, it is an advantage. Hopefully the fans will get behind me again," said Magee who has his sights set on a getting a crack at the WBA title.
"Everybody thinks of Robin Reid as a world class fighter and that is what he is."
