FRENCH MISSION: Andrew Selby
ANDREW Selby will fight Frenchman Vincent Legrand for the vacant European flyweight title on Saturday, April 28.
Unbeaten St Joseph’s star Selby, whose brother Lee defends his IBF world featherweight crown in Leeds this May, travels to Legrande’s homeland for the bout.
The fight is set to take place at Salle Theo Bouton in Douai, situated in the north-west of France, close to the border with Belgium.
Legrand has won all 26 of his professional bouts, 16 by knockout, and previously held the European crown in 2016 after outpointing Belarus’ Valery Yanchy.
