Lee Selby to make American debut against Fernando Montiel

British featherweight Lee Selby will defend his IBF title against Fernando Montiel in Arizona on October 14.

British featherweight Lee Selby will make his debut on American soil next month when he takes on former three-weight world champion Fernando Montiel.

In May, Selby won the IBF title with a classy performance against Evgeny Gradovich, which resulted in the Welsh fighter linking up with advisor Al Haymon.

The 28-year-old had initially been pencilled in to make the first defence of his belt in Cardiff, but he will now meet Montiel, who has won global honours at flyweight, super-flyweight and bantamweight, in Arizona on October 14.

The 36-year-old has won 54 of his 60 contests, but he hasn't held a world title since 2011.
