How do you calculate the velocity of a proton moving in a circle in a magnetic field?

If you have the mass and charge of the proton, the radius of its circular path (which is perpendicular to the magnetic field) and the strength of the field.. how would you calculate the protons velocity? Well just the speed I guess, the direction is towards the centre of the circle.
