The Odds are in for Patrick Hyland’s World title challenge

Patrick Hyland challenges for the WBC featherweight title at the Foxswoods resort in America on April 16.

Hyland, who is determined to snatch the life changing opportunity with both gloves, provides the opposition as known name and former amateur stand out Gary Russell Jr makes the first defence of a title he beat Jhonny Gonzalez to claim.

‘The Punisher’, who last appearance at World level came in a WBA interim title fight with Jaview Fortuna four years ago, would have expected to come in second favourite when the bookies released their prices.

However, he will be determined and confident of upsetting the odds in just over four weeks time.
