Michael Conlan will fight former world title challenger Adeilson Dos Santos in Belfast on 30 June.

The bout, which was announced without an opponent in April, will be the amateur World Champion's first professional contest on home soil after seven bouts unbeaten in the US and Australia.

Dos Santos has a record of 19 wins and four defeats, two of which have come in his last two fights.

He was knocked out in an attempt to capture then unbeaten WBO World Super Bantamweight champion Jessie Magdaleno's belt in April 2017 but should represent a step up in class of opponent for Conlan.
