    Michael Sweeney signs with Dolphil Promotions

    Dolphil Promotions are proud to announce the signing of Mayo prospect Michael 'The Storm' Sweeney. The talented cruiserweight enters the Dolphil stable with a record of 9 wins 1 draw and a solitary defeat. The 27 year old is hoping to re-launch himself following a nasty achilles injury which has hampered his progress in the last few months. The experienced Irishman who has plied his trade in both Mexico and in Boston while also stopping by Austria where he was sparring partner for the Klitschko brothers. As far as experience and talent is concerned promoter Don O'Leary is delighted with this coup "With Michael we have signed a fantastic young boxer right in his prime. He has a good head on his shoulders and knows exactly what he wants. He has seen just how far boxers who have trained under Phil Sutcliffe can go in their careers, so together I believe Dolphil Promotions and Michael Sweeney can go all the way."

    Now all we need is Prunty v O'Brien as chief supporting contest.

    Phil is right. Boxers need to know its a business. If you cant sell enough tickets to cover the purses of your fight then you got to question yourself why you turned pro.
