Haye vs Bellew: Lee Selby to face Andoni Gago on undercard
Tuesday 21 February 2017 16:42, UK
Lee Selby will return to action in a non-title bout on the undercard to David Haye vs Tony Bellew as he bids to recover from his Las Vegas heartbreak.
Welshman Selby (23-1) will face Spain's Andoni Gago (16-2-2) in a 10-round contest on March 4, live on Sky Sports Box Office.
The IBF featherweight champion was due to make his Las Vegas debut on the same bill as Carl Frampton vs Leo Santa Cruz II last month, but scheduled opponent Jonathan Barros withdrew at the 11th hour for medical reasons.
Selby was left without an opponent but will now return at The O2 Arena while the IBF decide the mandatory challenger to his world title.
He has been out of action since a unanimous decision victory over Eric Hunter at the same venue last April.
Upcoming opponent Gago boxed earlier in February, beating Lorenzo Parra in Bilbao via unanimous decision.
