Some of the country’s best up-and-coming young boxing prospects have been lined up to kick off the professional boxing season at the Europa Hotel.
The mixed dinner show event, in association with MHD Promotions and Bet McLean, will take place on Saturday, February 4.
Top of the bill is the promising Belfast flyweight “The Magnificent” Conor Quinn, who has his fourth fight since returning from a spell in Australia.

The chief support is an exciting all-Ireland dust-up between Kevin Cronin (Kerry) and Jamie Morrissey (Limerick) when the undefeated pair toe the line for the vacant BUI Celtic Light Heavyweight Title over 8x3 rounds.
The entertaining Owen “The Operator” O'Neill also returns following his impressive victory at the Girdwood Hub in November when he claimed the Boxing Union Of Ireland Vacant Super Welterweight with a showreel KO over Cavan’s Owen Duffy in the last round of a see-saw classic.
O’Neill has been training all over Christmas & New Year in Brighton with Chris Eubank Jnr ahead of his PPV mega fight on Saturday with Liam Smyth.
Fellow BUI Celtic champion Colm “The Posh Boy” Murphy also continues his development on the undercard along with David Ryan who takes on former Scottish champion Marek Laskowski.
Gerard Hughes has his first fight on Irish soil as a professional following his recent professional debut in England when he faces Sean Jackson of Manchester.
“Its great to be back at the Europa again, the atmosphere is always electric, after a fantastic year for the team we aim to push on and build for some great fights later in the year," said organiser Mark Dunlop.
"I am delighted for Conor Quinn who gets the opportunity to headline his first show."
The last remaining tickets are available on eventbrite.co.uk or through the boxers.
