The "Irish Rover" Bernard Dunne returns to Dublin on June 3 for what promises to be another sensational night of professional boxing when he takes on America’s David "El Finito" Martinez.
The undefeated Dublin puncher is closing in on a European title shot but before that can happen he needs to secure win number 21 of his career at the National Stadium.
He won't have it easy though with David "El Finito" Martinez in the other corner. The Albuquerque native is an ambitious young fighter and a top prospect in his own right. He'll be crossing the Atlantic for one reason and one reason only - to win.
A tremendous amateur the 22-year-old Martinez has excellent boxing skills. However he loves a tear up and he admits himself that's what cost him in his lone defeat to date against Mexican dangerman Tomas Villa.
He'll be determined not to make the same mistake twice against Dunne but in the white hot atmosphere of a packed National Stadium on a summer's night surely this one will be a toe to toe war.
It's a risky fight for Dunne with a European title shot on the line but he says it's a chance his happy to take. Dunne has no doubts about his own ability and another man who thinks he is the real deal is the "Clones Cyclone" Barry McGuigan.
The former World featherweight champion said, "I think Bernard has the ability to go all the way to the top. He has Irish boxing buzzing again and I think it's just the start of something really big with all the emerging talent coming through right now."
Dunne's fight with Martinez will make up just part of another two-hour feast of live boxing on RTE on 3 June and there is plenty on the undercard to look forward to.
Jim "The Pink Panther" Rock will contest the vacant Irish middleweight title with Lee Murtagh. Rock already holds the light middle and super middleweight belts so he will be out to score an Irish title hat trick.
