Boxing – Mc Closkey Now Has World Title Hopes

The Dungiven man picked off Morrison in the opening rounds in Letterkenny and then put the ex-British champion on the canvas with a big right in the fifth. Morrison tried to get McCloskey involved in a brawl but the end came after another knockdown in the seventh. It was McCloskey’s second defence of his title and his 22nd  straight win.
