Dunne to fight in Vegas before the end of 2009

Post by Cannibal »

So he said on The Podge and Rodge Show tonight. He doesn't know when, but he's pretty certain that he'll fight in Vegas before the year is out. Does that hint they already have an opponent in mind? Big fan base or not, not even Ricky Hatton would sell out a Vegas venue on travelling fans alone.

EDIT: My guess is either Vazquez or De Leon. Both have fought in Vegas on a few occassions.

The WBA have done it before, at Cruiserweight they once had Haye as Super Champ, Virgil Hill as regular champ and Firat Arslan as interim champ.

You would have thought they'd go for a couple of easy defenses on home soil before going to Vegas to get stiffed :KO:

Surely his promoter will keep him in Ireland when they have just sold 10,000 tickets for his championship winning fight.

did he say he will have two fights before the end of 09? One here and then maybe one in vegas, should he come through his first defence.
