Hyland eyeing up Dunne deal

PAUL HYLAND turned in the best performance of his career when he stopped Eugene Heagney 2 minutes and 45 secs into the third round in his defence of his Irish super bantamweight title and emerged as a possible opponent for the former world champion, Bernard Dunne.

“It’s the obvious question: what about Bernard but if Bernard Dunne comes he comes if he doesn’t he doesn’t,” he said.

“Right now my priority is the EU title and I am scheduled to fight David Chianella for that in Italy on February 26 so that’s next on the list.
