The Boxing Union of Ireland who are responsible for the overseeing of all aspects of professional boxing in the Republic of Ireland, had this to say on Twitter this morning:

This fight will be a genuine fifty-fifty encounter, that will inevitably deliver action in spade fulls.

To the best of this writer’s knowledge, it will also mark the first occasion in history where two men of travelling descent will square off for a professional world boxing title.

No doubt this breaking story will be followed soon by more information from everyone involved, in what promises to be a very special night for Irish and British boxing come September 19th.
