As he prepares to make the first defence of his European Light Welterweight title Paul McCloskey doesn't have to go too far afield for advice from another man who has been there and done that. Fellow Derry man Charlie Nash accomplished the same feat in 1979 winning the European Lightweight title and he's backing McCloskey to emerge with his title intact when he meets mandatory challenger Giuseppe Lauri in the main event on the Yanjing Beer Fight Night at The King's Hall, Belfast on Friday, June 11th.
Nash lifted the European Lightweight crown in 1979 and would go on to defend the title twice including a successful first defence against Scottish boxing legend Ken Buchanan before falling short in a World title tilt against another Scottish boxing icon, Jim Watt. Now involved with the Ring Boxing Club in his native Derry Nash has kept a close eye on McCloskey's progress since first watching him as a young amateur. |

Now another Belfast flyweight, Jamie Conlan is intent on following in their footsteps as he makes his King's Hall debut on the undercard to Paul McCloskey's first European title defence at The King's Hall on Friday, June 11th on the Yanjing Beer Fight Night.
Flyweight legends Monaghan and McAuley both defended their World titles at the King's Hall while Russell won the British title at the Balmoral venue and Conlan's trainer John Breen believes his charge has what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Monaghan, McAuley, Russell and Kelly. |
