PAUL HYLAND turned in the best performance of his career when he stopped Eugene Heagney 2 minutes and 45 secs into the third round in his defence of his Irish super bantamweight title and emerged as a possible opponent for the former world champion, Bernard Dunne.

PAUL HYLAND is hoping Bernard Dunne will reclaim the world title so he can then be part of what would be a sensational world title fight between two Dubliners in their native city.
