Magee took the European title last January 2010 when he stopped champion Mads Larsen in Denmark.

That nights work moved the 35-year-old Belfast man to the number one contender for the WBA world title. But Magee is not looking past Roman Aramian until he defends his crown.

"What I have to do is concentrate on 11th September and not look beyond this date," Magee added.

"I'm well aware of other boxers who were in similar circumstances and then came a cropper because they looked too far ahead.

"I've prepared well. I've been hard at it in the gym and when I go into the ring I will be 100 per cent.

"If the sparring I have had is any indication of my form and condition then my fans are going to see something special again.

"I believe I can be even better than I was against Larsen.

"I feel that with Bernardo Checa's coaching I am still learning and improving and I will demonstrate that on the night."

The Dublin bill on 11 September will also feature a second European title bout between Spain's Kiko Martinez and Arsen Martirosyan.
