Two vacant Irish titles will be distributed at the National Stadium in Dublin tonight and Dublin-born bothers Patrick and Edward Hyland are just one fight away from collecting both of them.

Dubliners Patrick and Paul Griffen, who are related through their
grandparents, clash for the Irish featherweight belt in a ten-rounder, which has already been dubbed 'The Battle of the Liberties'.

And Edward faces Kevin O'Hara for the Irish super-featherweight title in a repeat of their National Senior Championships clash of 2003, which Hyland won.

A third Hyland brother, Paul, will also be in action this evening over eight rounds against Ghanaian puncher Ayittey Mettle.

The exciting card will also feature the talents of Ian Tims, Declan Timlin, Gary O'Sullivan, and Jonathon O'Brien.
