Lee Selby Returns To Action At The O2

Former IBF World Featherweight Champion Lee Selby will make his big return to the ring on Saturday 23 February at The O2, London, on the blockbuster James DeGale-Chris Eubank Jr. show. The 31-year-old can’t wait to return to The O2 and he sees it as his lucky omen where he is unbeaten in the five fights he’s had there, including his sensational win over Evgeny Gradovich to win the IBF World title in May 2015. Selby said, “I’m looking forward to the challenge of becoming a two-weight world champion. The move up in weight was long overdue so that’s why we’ve chosen to jump up two weight classes to the Lightweight division.” “There are so many fights to look forward to with big domestic fights like Campbell, Corolla and Burns along with some of the pound-for-pound best fighters in the world like Vasyl Lomachenko and Mikey García,” “The Featherweight division was one of the toughest weight classes and I reached the top as IBF world champion. It’s the same mission now at Lightweight and I can’t wait to get back to business on February 23. The O2 London has been a special venue for me where I won my world title so it’s great to be back there on a massive night for British boxing.”
