Duddy facing huge test from Eastman

FORMER European, Commonwealth and British middleweight champion Howard Eastman bids to turn John Duddy’s King’s Hall dream into a nightmare when they clash at the legendary Belfast venue on December 8.

The London-based Guyana native goes by the sobriquet of the “Battersea Bomber” and with 35 KO’s from his 42 wins is set to provide the Derry native with the sternest test yet of his 22-fight unbeaten career.

Said Duddy: “It’s going to be amazing, it doesn’t get much better than fighting a guy with Eastman’s reputation at the King’s Hall. He’s had almost twice as many KO’s as I’ve had fights so that tells you everything about him. He has an amazing record and there’s no doubt he’s a very dangerous man.”
