The newly-crowned Irish welterweight champion will take on Olympian John Joe Joyce in the headline bout of an All Saints Boxing Club show in Ballymena’s Leighinmohr House Hotel on Saturday, April 5.

Donnelly has met Joyce three times, the most recent of them last month with Donnelly winning his Irish Elite semi-final before beating champion Adam Nolan in the final.
