‘Big Bang’ back in business in Belfast

THIS time last year Willie ‘Big Bang’ Casey was excitedly preparing for a world title fight with Guillermo Rigondeaux.

He had everything before him and that March fight looked like a major step forward in his professional career.

However, the rout that followed knocked Casey in more ways than one. His career was in doubt until he relaunched it under the Cuban’s manager Gary Hyde in style with an impressive eighth-round stoppage of Frenchman Daniel Kodjo Sassou on the Tyson Furey undercard at the King’s Hall in Belfast.
