Kelly, who is 2-0 in the pro ranks, will meet Frenchman Dorval Jordan (2-2) in a featherweight showdown.
In September, Kelly defeated Kye Stevens and vowed immediately afterwards: “I’ll be back better than ever.
I’ll be here to put on a show.After three rounds, Kelly – who carries a huge support - won on cards of 30-27, 30-26, 30-26.
Kelly is trained by John Kavanagh, who coaches UFC superstar Conor McGregor.
Jordan defeated Kostas Bozidis in June following a March defeat by Parwaiz Arabzai.
