Magee to take on Oakey in Dublin

Brian Magee moved up from super middleweight last year

Brian Magee will challenge Tony Oakey for the British light-heavyweight title at the Point in Dublin on 25 August.

The contest will be the first British championship fight ever to be held in the Republic of Ireland.

It had originally been thought the fight would be staged in Belfast after Magee's promoter won the purse bids.

The bout will be the chief supporting contest to Bernard Dunne's European super-bantamweight title defence against Spain's Kiko Martinez.
