Cubans plan Rebel rumble

MIKE ‘The Rebel’ Perez, a former world junior champion, will headline the most exciting professional boxing show ever staged in Cork where he will be joined by two other Cuban-born world junior champions on another Nowhere to Hyde bill at Neptune Stadium on September 13.

Perez, who moved to Cork from Cuba last summer, has spent a few months in the doldrums but is now back fighting fit.

And Gary Hyde, who brought Perez to Cork last year, revealed yesterday that he has also brought over two exciting new Cuban boxers.
