Ireland's John Duddy will fight at the National Stadium on July 14. Tickets went on sale today and 500 of the 2,000 available tickets were sold in the first 5 hours.

Duddy's opponent will be announced shortly.

I hope it is against someone more taxing than 'The Pink Panther', although I am sure it won't be..

I'm looking forward to going over for the fight.

I, too, hope it is a decent opponent but wouldnt be that dissapoitned with Jim Rock, who isn't the greatest fighter in the world - Jim would be the first to admit that - but i think he could extend John for a bit.

Jonjo Finnegan is pissed off as he was meant to be fighting Jim Rock for the Irish super-middleweight title only for Jim to cry off.

Rumour is Finnegan may have Mark Phillips for the British Masters instead

That's what Jonjo said thought may be happening, although nothing is 100 per cent guaranteed.

I'm going over for this one.
I want to see first hand if there is substance behind the hype.
I hope there is.

Great 2 see Duddy over here!!! :) although there has been no opponent announced yet..it wouldn't surprise me if it was Jim Rock, as Rock said a year ago that he wanted to fight Duddy.

Duddy in Dubly? Let's crack out the Bubbly and hope the fight "goes to eleven". (Or is it only scheduled for 10?)
