Olympic bronze medallist Darren Sutherland admits that climbing into the ring at Dublin City University for his professional debut tonight will be 'a very special moment' in his career.

ONE European champion and two Commonwealth champions went to the scales in defence of their titles but, amid he chaos at The Hub in DCU, fans jostling for a glimpse left no one in any doubt who the star act was at yesterday’s big fight weigh-in when Darren Sutherland, himself a student and former resident on campus, stepped up.

WITH a shot at one of the four world titles inside the next 12 months as the target, Bernard Dunne will continue his rehabilitation before the home crowd at the National Stadium on July 12 against an opponent yet to be named.

Former European champion Bernard Dunne will head 'into the west' for his return to the ring on the Hunky Dorys Fight Night at the International Events Arena, Breaffy House Resort in Castlebar, County Mayo on April 12.
