Pocket Rocket to explode into action for hometown fight

WAYNE McCULLOUGH will take two years of frustration out on Nikolai Eremeev tonight.

Las Vegas-based McCullough, noted for throwing around one hundred punches a round, is ready to steamroll the Russian outsider in Belfast's Maysfield Leisure Centre as he aims to move closer to a showdown with WBO featherweight champion Scott Harrison.

Pocket Rocket McCullough, a former WBC bantamweight champion, has described the pain he went through for two years after the British Boxing Board of Control stopped him from making his Belfast return two years ago against Hungarian Sandor Koczak.
