Hargrove may be first opponent to take Dunne the distance

DUBLINER Ben Dunne may have found an opponent to take him the distance for his seventh professional fight at Mohegan Sun, Mashentucket, Connecticut, tonight when he will face Terrell Hargrove who boxes out of Mohamed Ali’s old gym in Louisville, Kentucky.

Dunne is ranked 17th among the European featherweights although he has not yet boxed 12 rounds in total and his manager, Brian Peters, is hoping he may, at last have found someone to take him the distance.

Peters, who has guided the young featherweight’s fortunes with care since he joined the pro-ranks, was left scratching his head after Dunne’s first round demolition of Oscar Rosales in Oklahoma last month.
