THERE are two professional boxing bills on in Belfast tonight and Sean McComb will need all his slick boxing skills to handle Argentine battering ram Mauro Maximiliano Godoy in the main event on a stacked fight card at the Ulster Hall.

FROM the moment it was announced, the all-Ireland battle of Belfast’s Joe Fitzpatrick (10-0) and Naas lightweight Gary Cully (9-0) had tongues wagging.

BRITISH champion Anthony Cacace has been offered a shot at Samir Ziani’s EBU super-featherweight title in February next year.

TOMMY McCarthy’s name is now “in the hat” for a world title shot after he dethroned previously unbeaten WBC International Cruiserweight champion Fabio Turchi in his own backyard on Friday night.

JOE Fitzpatrick versus Iago Barros for the BUI Celtic Lightweight title is the headline act of tonight’s 13-fight card at the Devenish Complex.

IT'S not in the Kings Hall, it's in a small hall, but the all-Belfast lightweight clash between Joe Fitzpatrick and Stephen Webb has rekindled memories of some of the legendary Irish derby battles of yesteryear.

JOE Fitzpatrick knows boxing will never be the same without his dad, but he is fiercely determined to honour his memory by becoming the champion Gerry Fitzpatrick always knew he could be.

THE Belfast boxing community will bid farewell to a stalwart of the city’s fight scene on Thursday following the sad passing of Gerry Fitzpatrick on Saturday.

JAMES Tennyson returns to action against unbeaten Gary Neale at the Ulster Hall on February 9.

The technology has been trialled by Sue Ryder at a centre in Aberdeen.
