    RTÉ's pro box live is always shown on the website nowdays, and this will be no different.

    The undercard at the moment has Andrew Murray v Daniel Rasilla for the EU Lightweight title. Murray's a good prospect and a lovely technical boxer. Hopefully Rasilla will be a step up for him.

    Jim Rock v Alessio Furlan, 4 weight Irish champion Rock takes on the hardened Italian who gave both Macklin and Duddy a tough nights work.

    Amateur-Katie Taylor v ?, Taylor's the reigning EU, European and World Lightweight champion. Considered to be the best female amateur boxer p4p and really is a great fighter.

    Ray Moylette- World Junior amateur Lightweight champion

    Paddy Barnes- Olympic Bronze medalist, and Silver medalist at the EU championships.

    Oisin ***an may also be fighting on the card if he is medically cleared to fight. He's still recovering from the break he suffered against Khan.

    they are only on the webcast if RTE own the international rights as well.

    If the rights are sold elsewhere then it may not be shown.

    Well aware of that, hence why some of the Duddy fights were unavailable in North America.

    Cordoba(if he even has a tv deal) will only have tv rights in Panama or Central/South America. There's no way he'd compromise UK viewing rights.

    Jeez. I hope I do not forget to tune into this one. Looks a good bill and best of luck to Dunne. Pretty sure all us Englanders will be cheering him on that night.

    21st of March so a week on Saturday and I can 100% confirm this will be available on RTÉ.ie Worldwide, I've checked their schedule and it says so.

    Glad to see some English getting behind Dunne, Bernard deserves success for what he has done for Irish boxing if nothing else.

    The smart Munroe fans should be rooting for Dunne aswell, considering most of them favour Munroe over Dunne.

    I am a fan of Munroe and believe a fight between the him and Dunne would be very good and abit of a pick em.


    I think just about all English fans support Ireland in all sports. Pretty sure everyone will be behind Dunne for his shot.
