Cuban star comes into Casey’s sights

WILLIE ‘Big Bang’ Casey could be the ideal opponent for the two-time Olympic champion Guillermo Rigondeaux, according to the Cuban’s manager Gary Hyde.

The Limerick southpaw, who makes his first appearance as European champion in a non title against Venezuelan southpaw Manuel “Zorro” Sequera tomorrow night is not overawed by the Cuban.

Rigondeaux beat Ricardo Cordoba on a split decision to claim the interim WBA World super bantamweight title at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington last month but the Limerick southpaw is excited by the prospect and said it would be “fantastic” for it to happen.
