‘Spike’ favours March date

Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan reckons March 2 might be a more realistic date for his WBO International title defence against Farai Musiyiwa at the Neptune Stadium in Cork.

The Cork middleweight was due to put his belt on the line versus the Zimbabwean orthodox at the venue in December.

But the bout was postponed after the undefeated Leesider was forced to pull out of the 16th fight of his career with a rib injury.
