Billy Walsh and Stephen Haughian clash for the Irish Welterweight title at the Craigavon Leisure Centre tonight.

CORKMAN Billy Walsh was peeved by the fact that some people thought he was ducking Stephen Haughian who had been eyeing his Irish title, so it was hardly surprising that he jumped at the opportunity when Haughian laid down the challenge.

CORK welterweight Billy Walsh, accused in the past of ducking Stephen Haughian, insists this has never been the case and is ready to prove it by taking on the Lurgan man in his own back yard.
