Dunne ready to take on world

PROMOTER Brian Peters did his utmost to play it down after the three-round demolition of Yersin Jailauov at The Point, but Bernard Dunne could be moving rapidly towards a shot at a world title.

Dunne’s trainer, Harry Hawkins, revealed that they were ready to bring in a number of experienced sparring partners from America — including ex-world champions — to help them take Dunne’s career to a new level.

Brian Peters confirmed: We will be bringing in a whole bunch of serious sparring partners from the US and Argentina. We are talking about 50-bout veterans who have excelled at the upper end of the scale.”
