Steven Ward’s exhibition bout against strongman Hafthor Bjornsson on 15 January has been switched from Iceland to Dubai because of Covid restrictions.
The 30-year-old from Belfast won his first fight at cruiserweight in September, securing a points victory over Englishman Jone Volau.
Ward hopes to challenge for a British title at his new weight, having secured a 13th win in 14 professional fights.
The 30-year-old won the WBO European light-heavyweight title in 2019.
