Dunne ‘one fight’ from title shot

BERNARD DUNNE could be just one fight away from a world title shot, according to promoter Brian Peters who confirmed yesterday the former European super-bantamweight champion will return to the Breaffy House Resort in Castlebar for his next ring appearance on November 15.

It will be an important engagement for Dunne who returned to winning ways in Castlebar following his shock defeat to Kiko Martinez when he headlined the first ever night of professional boxing in Mayo by outpointing former World Champion, Felix Machado last April.

Since then Dunne notched up another win over Argentina’s Damian Marchiano in July to bring his record to 25 wins and one defeat. Now manager Brian Peters believes he could be just one fight away from a world title bid.
