colm murphy [5(1)-0] will defend his BUI Celtic featherweight title against Liam Gaynor [9-1].
Mark Dunlop has confirmed that MHD will promote one of the most intriguing domestic title fights in recent memory at the Europa Hotel on November 26th.
It’s a Bolton fight that Dub Gaynor first mentioned when talking to Irish-boxing.com. Gaynor not only said that he would like the winner of the ‘Return of the Mick’ clash between Murphy and his directing partner Ruadhan Farrell, but he said that he would have too much for whoever claimed the title.
‘Posh Boy’ took note and told the Tallaght man via Irish-boxing.com to get in touch if he wanted to move on. It appears he did exactly that, as the fight has been and will take place in Belfast later this year.
Murphy had the perfect pro debut year fighting five times and capping it off with a national title victory in September. The Dee Walsh-trained fighter, who is noted for his motor and ability to entertain, steps up heading into year two, headlining a bill against Gaynor in what will be a highly anticipated fight.
Gaynor, 24, has been around since 2017 but has previously suffered from periods of inactivity. The Kilnamnagh native has managed to keep himself busy for the past 12 months and reaps rewards for four wins in a row in the form of a winter title fight.
