Paul Hyland setting his sights on titles after Dublin showdown

The Belfast lightweight will look to make it 12-0 when he takes on Hungary’s Laszlo Fekete who has a record of 15-10-2.

“Hylo” - who was 26 last week - is in no mood to hang about and looks to bigger things after he takes care of business at the National Stadium in Dublin and he will look for a bigger test or title fight before the end of the year.

“I have been very busy the last few years and have been building up my record. I am ranked in the top 20 in Britain and I feel I am ready to fight for a title in my next few fights.

“I am looking forward to fighting in Dublin and getting another win on my record. I have trained very hard for this fight and I don’t know much about my opponent but he has my full respect,.

And Hyland says preparation has gone well for the clash.

“I have been training away and I have ticked every box in my preparations. It was my birthday a few days ago but I can celebrate that after the fight.”

And Hyland’s manager Mark Dunlop will look to get the title opportunities his fighter wants in the coming months.

“Paul is a very dedicated and talented young man. His fight on Saturday night will be against his eighth opponent with a winning record. He really wants it and he deserves all the success that is about to come his way.”

And Tyrone McCullagh will also be in action in Dublin on Saturday night.

The talented super-bantamweight will be looking to take his record to 4-0 against Aleksandrs Birkenbergs.
