Fury has sights set on world title shot

Riot police were called to Belfast’s Odyssey Arena after a mass brawl erupted during the Irish heavyweight championship title fight on Saturday night.

Tyson Fury stopped Martin Rogan in the fifth round to win the belt but the achievement was overshadowed by the trouble which sparked between opposing fans among the 6,000-strong crowd.

Security on the ground reported a brawl involving around 40 people. Several of the security staff were injured, but not seriously. By the time the police arrived, the trouble had subsided and no arrests were made.
