Michael Conlan is back in action on Friday as he takes on Ionut Balut in London.
The Belfast boxer (14-0) makes his super-bantamweight debut as he looks to move a step closer to a world title shot in 2021.
And he'll have his work cut out for him as he takes on the Romanian challenger (14-2) who has taken some surprising scalps in recent fights with TJ Doheny and Davey Oliver Joyce.
But Conlon is favourite to bounce back from a disappointing 2020 that saw his St Patrick's Day fight cancelled before beating former world title challenger Sofiane Takoucht last August.
The bout will be the co-headliner as Moruti Mthalane and Sunny Edwards go toe-to-toe for the IBF flyweight world title in the main event of the Frank Warren promoted Queensbury Promotions fight night.
“This is a big step up for Mick, as Baluta has pulled off quite a few upsets and is motivated to do so once again,” said Top Rank chairman Bob Arum.
“Mick is close to a world title shot, and I expect him to be at his very best April 30. I am also pleased that American fight fans will have an opportunity to watch the sensational Mthalane, who is in tough against the young Edwards.”
