World title joy for Dunne

Dubliner Bernard Dunne roused his hometown crowd to its feet last night as he produced a stunning second round stoppage of Sean “Short Fuse” Hughes to capture the IBC Super-Bantamweight title.

The 25-year-old followed up on Jim Rock’s IBC (International Boxing Council) Middleweight success earlier in the night, to win his first world title in his first outing in the 8-stone 10-lbs bantamweight division.
