Dynamic Dunne ready to blow his Short Fuse

BERNARD DUNNE had no problem at the scales in advance of tonight’s IBC world super bantamweight title fight at the National Stadium.

It is one of two world title fights on a programme that also features fellow Dubliner Jim Rock, boxing for the vacant IBC world middleweight title.

Dunne, who had to shed four pounds from his normal weight, tipped the scales at 8st 10lbs, right on the weight, and then watched in amazement as his opponent, Sean “Short Fuse” Hughes, who stands 5’9,” weighed in at 8st 9lbs 2 ozs.
