Magee heralds new era in Belfast

Brian Magee believes he is bringing in a new era of boxing to Belfast on Saturday night, when he defends his IBO super-middleweight title against Argentina’s Omar Gonzalez.

The sold-out signs have been up at the Ulster Hall venue for two weeks and Magee is ready to bid over the next year to become a premier super-middleweight in the world, eclipsing WBO champion Joe Calzaghe.
