Dunne and Martinez square up

BERNARD DUNNE came face to face with his next opponent when the current wonder boy of Spanish boxing, Kiko Martinez, made a dramatic appearance in the ring before John Duddy’s fight at the National Stadium on Saturday night.

And, not to be outdone, Dunne, who was doing fight analysis for Duddy’s contest, climbed in with his manager, Brian Peters, to face up to the sombrero-wearing contingent from Alicante.

Peters then revealed that the mandatory defence will take place at The Point on August 25.
