Jailauov first of four as Dunne sets sights higher

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.

While promoter/manager Brian Peters insists they won’t be rushing into anything, Dunne said yesterday he would take a world title fight if and when it comes.

“I am always ready for it and while there would be a lot of discussions surrounding something like that, I would jump at the opportunity,” said the unbeaten Dubliner.
