Ryan Burnett V Lee Haskins

Ryan Burnett will challenge Lee Haskins for the IBF World Bantam weight title at The SSE Arena in Belfast on June 10th live on Sky Sports.

The unbeaten Belfast man gets his first World title crack on home turf and the 24 year old is looking to graduate to World level having moved seamlessly to 16-0, picking up the British and WBC International strap en-route.

Haskins picked up the strap with an impressive sixth round stoppage win over Ryosuke Iwasa in 2015 and has defended the crown twice with points wins over Ivan Morales in May and Stuart Hall in September.

The Bristolian southpaw will provide the stiffest test of the talented Adam Booth trained Burnett, who believes the Belfast crowd can roar him to victory.

'I always dreamed of headlining in Belfast and now I have the opportunity to do it for a World Title – I’m so excited,' said Burnett. 'Home advantage is going to be massive. I’ve been in the opposite corner when I fought Ryan Farrag in Liverpool and experienced that side of it. I got a little taste of it when I was on the undercard when Carl Frampton boxed Scott Quigg, when I came out everyone went crazy.'

First details of the undercard will be revealed when the pair come face to face at the launch press conference for the fight.
