Hyland top of pile after title win

PATRICK ‘The Punisher’ Hyland now boasts the best 100% record of all Irish professional boxers after Saturday night’s WBF title win on points over Frenchman Philippe Frenois at the National Stadium.

Hyland made it 23 consecutive victories as he overcame the rugged Frenois to lift the WBF featherweight crown.

The Tallaght native had to maximise his power and punching ability against a demanding opponent on a night that saw brothers Paulie and Eddie also record wins at super bantamweight and light middleweight respectively.
