THE FIRST women’s professional boxing match will be held next month at the Point in Dublin as part of the under card for Bernard Dunne European super-bantamweight title defence against Norwegian Reidar Walstad.

BERNARD DUNNE was reluctant to make any predictions other than to say that he is not going to lose this fight when he took time out to relax yesterday in advance of tomorrow night’s defence of his European Super-Bantamweight title against Yersin Jailauov at The Point.

SHORT route wins for the Walsh brothers, a successful re-launch for Neil Sinclair and first visits to the canvas for Paul McCloskey and Stephen Haughian resulted in thrill-a-minute entertainment for boxing fans at Cork City Hall on Saturday night.

NEIL SINCLAIR hopes to relaunch his professional boxing career by beating Arek Malek from Poland at Cork City Hall tomorrow night.

BERNARD DUNNE will defend his European super bantamweight title against Yerson Jailauov from Kazakhstan at the Point Depot on March 25 in the first of four planned fights this year.
