Caoimhin Agyarko's opponent has been confirmed for next week's big fight bill at Nottingham Arena.

It was confirmed on Saturday that the 25-year-old will defend his WBA International middleweight belt against Mexican Juan Carlos Rubio.
Rubio has lost just once in 19 fights and brings nine knockout wins to the table.
'El Terri' is 23 and hails from Guadalajara in Mexico, but goes into this fight on the back of his sole defeat in the pro ranks.
That came against Charles Conwell in August last year, Rubio being stopped inside three rounds at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse, Cleveland.
Rubio will be on the rebound while Agyarko is looking to continue his impressive unbeaten run and close in on bigger prizes.
Last time out the 25-year-old stopped Noe Larios Jr at the Echo Arena in Liverpool.
Larios went into that fight unbeaten but Agyarko systematically broke the Californian down before ending the fight in the ninth round.
