BRIAN MAGEE will today be confirmed as the mandatory challenger for Dimitri Sartison’s WBA world super-middleweight title after successfully defending his European crown against Roman Aramian at the National Stadium on Saturday night.

WITH two European titles, one Irish title and several reputations on the line, tonight’s mammoth nine-bout televised Hunky Dorys Fight Night at the National Stadium is overflowing with promise.

CORK’S adopted Cubans, Luis Garcia and Alexei Acosta, can speed their progress up the professional boxing rankings over the coming weeks with back-to-back appearances on the European title fight undercards at the National Stadium tomorrow night and then Letterkenny on October 2.

PAUL HYLAND could hardly be blamed if he has one eye on the European title fight involving teak tough little Spaniard Kiko Martinez and Arsen Martyrosian, an Armenian who has based himself in France, at The National Stadium on Saturday night.

KIKO MARTINEZ is all set to return to Dublin in a bid to reclaim the European super bantamweight title that he took from Bernard Dunne at the old Point three years ago, and he said yesterday that he is hoping his achievement in winning back the title will lure the Dubliner out of retirement for a return fight.
