Boxer calls in spoon bender to stir support

SPOON bender Uri Geller is helping Peter McDonagh in his quest for an Irish lightweight boxing title.

McDonagh goes head to head with Michael Gomez as part of a six-fight undercard to the Bernard Dunne versus Noel Wilders clash at the National Stadium in Dublin next Saturday night.

A chance meeting between McDonagh and Geller on a flight to London led to the unusual pairing and Geller will accompany the Galway man to Dublin for the fight.
