Fagan added to Dunne undercard
Updated: Thursday, 19 Jun 2008 14:42
Former Irish light-welterweight boxing champion Oisin Fagan has been added to the next Hunky Dorys Fight Night, which will be headlined by Bernard Dunne at the National Stadium on 12 July.
Fagan will meet Latvian Leonard Lothian in his first fight since his impressive second round stoppage of Brian Carden, in Madison Square Garden in March.
Fagan said: 'I'm really looking forward to this fight in Dublin. They say this bout against Lothian will be a warm-up for the 'big one' against the winner of the [Andrew] Murray v [Peter] McDonagh fight, but rest assured, I'm not taking this Latvian kid lightly.'
Marcos Jiminez of the Dominican Republic will provide the opposition for Dunne.
Jim Rock will return to the ring as he attempts to become a four-weight Irish champion by stepping up to light heavyweight to meet Jonjo Finnegan.
A second Irish title fight on the card will see two reigning Irish champs clash when light-welterweight kingpin Murray moves down a weight to challenge McDonagh for his lightweight belt.
