‘Spike’ still eyeing world title

Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan make his return to the ring tonight in the US, still confident he can win a world title.

O’Sullivan faces Mexican Jose Medina in a middleweight bout at Boston’s House of Blues. It’s the Cork boxer’s first fight since losing to Billy Joe Saunders at Wembley Arena 11 months ago, the first defeat of his 17-fight professional career.

With the event being televised by Fox in the US, it’s a huge opportunity for O’Sullivan, who recently saw his contract with promoter Frank Warren expire and opting not to renew.
