Michael Conlan will face former Vasyl Lomachenko opponent Miguel Marriaga in his comeback fight this summer.
It has been confirmed that Conlan will face the dangerous Colombian on Saturday, August 6 at the SSE Arena.
It was thought the Belfast man's next fight would see him return to Falls Park, but the bout will now take place indoors.

Marriaga will present a stern test for Conlan, who is coming off the back of a devastating knockout defeat to Leigh Wood back in March.
The 30-year-old was knocked through the ropes in the final round of his world title fight in Nottingham.
Marriaga is a three-time World title challenger, having lost to pound-for-pound great Lomachenko back in 2017 for the WBO super-featherweight title.
The fight before that saw Marriaga lose to Oscar Valdez in a WBO World featherweight showdown, while his other loss came against Nicholas Walters for the WBA Super World featherweight belt.
The 35-year-old has 26 knockouts in his 30 wins, and also has five defeats on his record, two of which came in his last three fights.
August's contest will be Conlan's second appearance at the SSE Arena and his first since 2018 when he beat Brazilian Adeilson dos Santos.
The undercard could feature other home favourites including Kurt Walker and Padraig McCrory.
Tickets for the event will go on sale from Friday, June 10.
