British and Commonwealth featherweight champ Lee Selby will face Romanian Viorel Simion on the Olympic gold medalist Luke Cambell’s pro debut bill in Hull on July 13

The 31 year old Simion won the WBC International title in July 2011 and has defended the belt successfully twice since, and Selby’s promoter Eddie Hearn is excited by the prospect of seeing Selby tested at a higher level.

“I’m delighted to have been able to bring Viorel over for this fight,” said Hearn. “It’s Lee’s first big test on the World stage and having watched Viorel in action, I think we can expect a cracking fight where Lee will show everybody just how good he is.”

Selby v Simion is part of a massive show also featuring Kell Brook’s rematch with Carson Jones plus fights from John Ryder, Curtis Woodhouse, Derry Mathews, Tommy Coyle and Rocky Fielding.
