    McCloskey said that he thinks Kotelnik will be much harder for Khan than the britieh press think.

    speaking of McCloskey....... some breaking news i got litrally seconds ago

    With regard to the vacant European Light Welterweight title fight between nominated challengers Paul McCloskey and Souleymane M'baye purse bids have been suspended as both parties have come to an agreement.

    Full details of the contest will be confirmed next week.

    I think your the man that has been giving clues Ardy!

    All the talk all along was a fight in belfast so i would imagine it would take place there makes the most financial sense for both fighters!

    Kings Hall anyone????

    another great night for irish boxing!

    That's hope so, Duddy packed the Kings Hall in December 2007. There was 6500 there in attendance that night, and around 3000 of those fans travelled from Derry. So I would expect a sizeable crowd from Dungiven Co Derry to make this trip this time in support of McCloskey.

    I really hope so, Haven't had a chance to catch Paul live yet and i also want to sample the atmosphere at the Kings Hall. A fight in Belfast is the best thing all round.
