Lee Selby added to the David Haye v Tony Bellew undercard

[Ruthless-RKO]

IBF featherweight world champion Lee Selby has been added to the undercard of David Haye v Tony Bellew.

The Welshman was left disappointed last month after his Las Vegas debut was cancelled at the eleventh hour when his scheduled challenger on January 28, Jonathan Victor Barros, failed his medical.


An emotional Selby held back the tears as he addressed fans at what was supposed to be his weigh-in last month, vowing to make a return.

And fans won't have to wait long to see the Barry boxer in the ring again after it was announced he'll face Spain's Andoni Gago in a non-title bout at the O2 Arena.

"I'm very pleased to announce that Lee Selby, the IBF featherweight champion, has been added to this action-packed bill on March 4," said David Haye.

"After his fight fell through on January 28, I really felt for him, boiling his massive frame down to the nine stone limit and not getting any work that night.

"I sent him a message saying that I would try and squeeze him on the show and everybody here at HayemakerRingstar pulled out all the stops to make it happen.

I take it this is at a catch weight or super feather? Not the best opponent but keeps Selby active after Januarys disappointment and should give him a few rounds.
