Dunne deal: Bernard set to face ‘Banbino’

BERNARD DUNNE faces his first world ranked opponent for his date with destiny at the Breaffy HouseResort in Castlebar on November 15.

Mexican Eduardo ‘Banbino’ Garcia is poised to provide the Dubliner with an acid test of his world title credentials and should Dunne come through he will put himself in line for a world title shot.

Garcia has a pretty impressive record that features many of the top names in the bantamweight/superbantamweight area. His last outing was against Olivier Lontchi in his own back yard in Rama, Ontaria for the NABA super-bantamweight title and he came away with a draw.
