DUNGIVEN Southpaw, Paul McCloskey, will be back in action in Limerick on July 19 on the Ladbrokes.com Fight Night card.
This time out the undefeated McCloskey will take on reigning English Champion Nigel Wright, a contender who is confident that he can put a dent in McCloskey's ever growing reputation.
McCloskey is coming off a career best win over former World Champion Cesar Bazan but Wright is confident that he will be the first man to inflict a professional defeat on the Derry man at the University Sports Arena.
Wright says that he knows plenty about McCloskey and will be coming to Limerick full of confidence: "I know Paul quite well from the amateurs," revealed the 28-year-old Hartlepool native.
“We sparred each other back then in London and he's a very nice lad. We would have bumped into each other at a lot of the International tournaments over the years and we always got on well but we'll have to put that aside next month."
