Eric Donovan looks to return to winning ways this afternoon.

The Kildare fighter fights for the first time since his first career defeat, suffered at the gloves of Zelfa Barrett at Matchroom headquarters in August.

‘Lilywhite Lightning’ trades leather in Fight Off Training Center, Wavre, Walloon Brabant, Belgium on the undercard of two Belgium title fights.

The 35-year-old takes on veteran journey man Rafael Castillo over six rounds.

The 28-year-old Spain based Nicaraguan has shared the ring with the likes of Reece Belloti, James Tennyson, Barrett and Jordan Gill and has the ability to give the Irish featherweight rounds, particularly up at super feather.

The bout is also the European and EU bronze medalist’s first clash under the stewardship of experienced pro coach Paschal Collins.

Donovan is expected in the ring second and the card gloves off at 3PM.
