Irish Boxing

Three world title fights and no Lee, Macklin or Duddy in the picture. Didn't see that coming twelve months ago. Up against it might be understating it but who's got the hardest fight.
I rank them Casey then Magee then McCloskey which is the order there coming in. Oh my Celtic tiger greed is coming back to me but if we won all three we would have more world champions than the English.......deep breath....deep breath....where's me paper bag.

 

The Brits would just claim Mccloskey and Magee as their own. Its the British way.

how did he get that nickname? I worked with a girl who knew him a few years ago and she didnt know

 

FOUR world title fights if you count Fitzy's mooted WBF attempt

 

When McCloskey was a young fella, there was a local kid who was also called Paul McCloskey. To separate the two the other kid was called "Big dude". While our McCloskey was called "Little dude". "Little dude" was shorten to "Dudley". Sin an sceál:thumbsup

 

nice little piece of trivia, thanks.

i'll be supporting him, I fancy an upset if Khan isn't careful, McCloskey is not to be underestimated, he ain't no Salita.

 

Buachaillí!
I remember when the negotiations for the fight were first taking place, some of Dudley's money from the fight was going to come from Irish ticket sales (like the way Dolphil promotions does for it's fighters). If this is correct people should buy their tickets off McCloskey. They are going to be on sale from his website::good
