Celtic Rebel Spike ready to rumble

From Upton Park to Páirc Uí Chaoimh — that’s the road Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan is beginning this weekend.

Tonight Spike takes on Manchester’s Matthew Hall for the vacant WBO international middleweight belt in front of 40,000 fans at West Ham’s home ground Upton Park in London.

It’s the co-main event being shared with the infamous David Haye v Dereck Chisora grudge match and Spike sees it as the latest stepping stone to take him to the top of the boxing world — and ultimately a world title showdown at Páirc Uí Chaoimh.
