Gerard Whitehouse Named as First 2/5 MGM Show Fighter

By Elliot Foster

Gerard Whitehouse will return to the ring in the New Year after being handed a date.

The Balbriggan welterweight (4-0, 1 KO) has been named as the first fighter to feature on MGM Promotions’ first Dublin show of 2016 at the Roadstone Club in Clondalkin.

Whitehouse, 20, made his debut in November, 2014, and has the interesting nickname of ‘Crank’.

At present, he is the only name to have been coupled with the Spanish-based outfit’s first show in Ireland on the new calendar, which takes place on February 5.

That date just 24 hours ahead of the already-set National Stadium outing on February 6 –– a bill that is expected to feature former WBO European lightweight champion Stephen Ormond, as well as WBO Inter-Continental super flyweight champ Jamie Conlan and three-time Irish champion Peter McDonagh, with the ‘Clash of Clans’ card set to be aired exclusively live on BoxNation.

Further details surrounding the February 5 fight night in Kingswood Cross, including other featuring fighters and ticket particulars, will be revealed in due course.
