Tiernan Bradley confirms opponent for February 20 bout

Tiernan Bradley will return to the ring on February 20.

The Co Tyrone boxer has confirmed he will fight Eduardo Valverde in Spain.

It will be Bradley's third outing as a professional since moving up from the amateur ranks last year.

The 23-year-old welterweight made his pro debut with a first-round stoppage win in Poland last October, before following that up with another impressive display against Nicaraguan Arnoldo Solano in Spain in December.

Next month's fight will be over six rounds and will take place at the Onguardamar Arena in Alicante.

Valverde - from Nicaragua - has won two of his six professional fights to date including one stoppage win.

Bradley said on his Facebook page: "I can’t wait for this one, it’s going to be an all out WAR!!This fight will be steamed on a top class pay per view, I’ll share the link on Facebook soon. TB TAKEOVER LETS DO THIS!!!"
