Magee has been getting ready for the contest in St Agnes’ Boxing Club in  Andersonstown gym that's where the former IBO world champion began his career.

The return comes following the end of a lengthy and successful association with Holy Trinity’s Harry Hawkins.

"I left on good terms with Harry and Mickey (Hawkins)," said Magee. "I can call into the club anytime I want to catch up with the guys. Alex Doherty still works with me on conditioning as well and comes down and trains with me. But I’m now being trained by Bernardo Checa."
