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.
Thanks Paddy. Would that indicate that the fight is set for Belfast. What do you think Paddy any clues.
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!
well this is a gaurenteed sell out for peters in belfast so i doubt he would have come to an agreement for paul to fight elsewhere.....:hey:hey
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.
It would be a night not to be missed I'll defo make the trip up to belfast! Hes really come on leaps an bounds in the last 6 months since picking up the british strap. its really kicked his career into gear it was definately something we had all been looking forward to for a long while.
