McBride world title talks under way

PASCAL COLLINS, co-trainer of Kevin McBride, has told Newstalk106 that discussions are taking place about a world title shot for the Clones man.

"There's two options we can take, we can fight Vladimir Klitschko for the WBC belt or John Ruiz for the WBA belt, that's the two belts to talk about right now. We would opt for the WBA belt, because Ruiz is a Bostonian and I think it would be a great fight in the Boston fleet centre for an Irishman in Boston and an Hispanic fighter in Boston."

Collins believes now is the time for McBride to take full advantage of his newly-found fame.
