Anthony Fitzgerald Added To The 'Clash of Clans' Card
By Elliot Foster
Anthony Fitzgerald has been added to the undercard of the February 6 MGM Promotions card.
The Dublin middleweight won two fights after being stopped inside a round by Gary ‘Spike’ O’Sullivan back in November, 2014.
But the 30-year-old (18-8, 4 KOs) will go into his appearance at the National Stadium, as part of the ‘Clash of Clans’ card next month, on the back of a defeat, having lost on points to Adam Jones in September.
‘Fitzer’ joins a card that features a clash of unbeaten super welterweights for the vacant WBO Inter-Continental belt as Joe Selkirk (14-0, 8 KOs) takes on Gary Corcoran (14-0, 6 KOs) in the main event.
“I´m looking forward to it,” the former WBFed Inter-Continental middleweight champion said.
“I also enjoy fighting at the National Stadium in front of a home crowd. It should be another good night for Irish boxing.”
Elsewhere on the card, Jamie Conlan (15-0, 9 KOs) makes a defence of his WBO Inter-Continental super flyweight title, as he sets his sights on Ellesmere Port’s Paul Butler, in the chief support contest of a bill on which Stephen Ormond (20-2, 11 KOs) will feature.
And cruiserweight Gary Sweeney will make his professional bow on the card and will be flanked by Declan Geraghty (10-1, 2 KOs), who has recently moved from MGM Marbella to MGM Manchester to work with Johnney Roye, and Philip Sutcliffe Jr. (9-0, 6 KOs), while ex-WBFed featherweight champ Patrick Hyland (31-1, 15 KOs) is slated for action and they are joined by three-weight Irish champion Peter McDonagh (25-28-1, 3 KOs) and Jamie Kavanagh (20-1-1, 10 KOs).
Meanwhile, Cardiff-based Bristol lightweight and unbeaten Dublin duo Sean Creagh (3-0, 1 KO) and Craig O’Brien (3-0) complete the card.
