O’Leary said: “I’m really excited to back, and what a tremendous card to be out on straight after lockdown. I’m more than ready for this step up and I believe it’s going to bring the best out of me yet.
“I don’t know much about Limburn, other than he fought one of my fellow opponents. He’s 6-0, but he has fought nobody. I know he’ll be coming to win, but once I stay on top of my game plan, it will be a long night for him.
“I’ve teamed up with Al Smith and all of the coaches in the iBox Gym like Paul Taylor and Eddie Lam. They have being helping me a lot and it means everything.
“Al and I have being working on bringing the best out of me. We have gelled really well and it’s a great atmosphere in the gym all of the time. Everyone is willing to help each other, so I can’t wait to show the world what I’ve gained come fight night.
“It’s being a great journey so far. MTK Global have being keeping me active and I’ve been getting used to the big events. Now I’m going for my fifth win.”
