Dunne unconcerned by change of opponent

BERNARD DUNNE faces Sean Hughes in an IBC world super bantamweight title fight at the National Stadium on Friday following the withdrawal of first choice opponent, former European champion Noel Wilders.

Dunne is not concerned by the late change. “He’s a southpaw and that means that I won’t have to make too many adjustments. I have never seen him fight so I will watch a couple of videos and then decide on a plan. I don’t make that many plans for fights. I like to let it flow on the night.”

Promoter Brian Peters is adamant that Hughes will be a worthy opponent for the Dubliner.
