Sean McComb will look to continue on an upward curve when he takes on Emiliano Dominguez Rodriguez in Belfast on October 11.
It has been confirmed that the super-lightweight prospect will face Argentinian fighter Rodriguez (23-4, 9 KOs) at the Ulster Hall.
McComb extended his unbeaten record to 8-0, 4 KOs with a comprehensive win over Renald Garrido at Féile an Phobail earlier this month.
Rodriguez is a former WBC Latino champion who took McComb’s MTK Global team-mate Mohamed Mimoune to points in pursuit of the IBO world title last year.
“I know he’s very tough," McComb said.
"He’s never been stopped and he’s a lot more fights than me. He’s got a lot more experience but in terms of talent and work ethic, I believe I tick the boxes.
“I know he’s going to come and he’s going to be game just like Garrido was but I believe he’s more open than Garrido and has slower feet, so I don’t see much of a problem for me.
“At the same time, it’s a good step up for me and it’s another new experience at the right time.
“This is boxing. I aspire to be world champion and that’s the only reason I turned professional. I didn’t do it to say I’m a professional boxer or have it as a hobby. I turned pro to step up these levels so soon.”
Also on the card is Paddy Barnes who faces undefeated European and Commonwealth flyweight Jay Harris, Lewis Crocker, Gary Cully, Marco McCullough, Pierce Leary and others.
