McCloskey confident of ‘doing a job’ on Morrison

HIGHLY rated light welterweight Paul McCloskey insists he has the ‘tools to do a job’ on Scotland’s Barry Morrison when they clash in Letterkenny next month.

It is fitting that McCloskey should choose the Donegal town for the second defence of his European title — his first was a mandatory punch-up with Giuseppe Lauri that ended in the 11th round — as the unbeaten Dungiven southpaw returns to the scene of his victory over former world champion, Cesar Bazan, in 2008.

Since then McCloskey is winning plenty of plaudits with Ring magazine featuring him in their top ten light welterweights while he is fourth in the world rankings.
