Cathal McLaughlin and Danny Duffy are pencilled in to return to action in June.
The Raphoe Boxing Club pair, who transitioned to the profession ranks last year, are both set to feature on a card in Belfast in June.
McLaughlin and Duffy will go through the ropes at the Devenish Complex on June 21 on a show promoted by Jay Byrne and Jamie Conlan.
McLaughlin’s pro debut saw him overcome Martin Shaw, referee Dominic Conlan scoring him the 40-36 victor at the SSE Arena last August.
Bantamweight Duffy made his bow in the pro ranks in December, out-pointing Jake Pollard 40-36 in Waterford.
McLaughlin, who has had two planned fights cancelled since his debut win, is slated to meet George Rogers in a four-round middleweight fight while Duffy will face a yet to be confirmed opponent, also over four rounds.
They have Raphoe coaches Gary McCullagh and Gerard Keaveney in their corner and former world middleweight title challenger Jason Quigley manages the duo.
