Duddy to fight in Ireland

IBA world middleweight champion John Duddy's next three fights will be in Ireland, his handler Eddie McLaughlin has confirmed.

Duddy's next bout will be at the Kings Hall in October as he gears up a challenge for the European title.

The Irish boxer has won all twenty-one of his professional bouts, fifteen by knockout, and nine of them in the first round.

He won his first Irish national title at the age of 15 as a light middleweight in the Junior Division.
