Rigondeaux to spar in Cork ahead of ‘Big Bang’ bout

GUILLERMO RIGONDEAUX will complete his preparations for his world title defence against Willie “Big Bang” Casey at a special training camp in Cork.

The two-time Olympic champion arrives in Cork on March 7 and his manager, Gary Hyde, will set up a training camp at the Montenotte Hotel. Rigondeaux met Cork fans at the venue a couple of weeks ago and hundreds turned up to watch a light training session.

It was then Rigondeaux asked Hyde to set up his training camp in the same room and the Corkman has obliged.
