Joseph Parker vs. Andy Ruiz, Jr.
Bio
Lee “The Barry Boy Assassin” Selby was born in Barry Wales, in the U.K. on February 14th in 1987. Selby made his professional debut as a lightweight in 2008. He bounced between lightweight, super lightweight, and super featherweight before settling in the featherweight division. As a featherweight Selby captured the British, Commonwealth, and European featherweight titles as well as the WBC International featherweight title.
In 2015, with a record of 20-1, Selby earned his first world title shot when he faced off against IBF featherweight world champion Evgeny Gradovich. A clash of heads that left a cut by Gradovich’s right eye caused the fight to be stopped and with Selby ahead on the judges’ score cards 80-72, and 79-73 twice, he was awarded the win and his first world title. Later that year Selby made his first world title defense on October 14th with a 12 round unanimous decision victory over Fernando Montiel.
