Big Boxing names back Dennis Hogan to pull off shock Munguia win

Dennis Hogan [28(7)-1(0)-1] looks to pull of the biggest shock in Irish boxing history tonight and has some of the sport’s biggest names in his corner.

The Kildare light middleweight takes on WBO champion Jaime Munguia [32(26)-0] at the Arena Monterrey.

Hogan enters the bout in Mexico as a massive underdog, but the popular lilywhite has a lot of people backing him.

The well-wishes have been flooding in over recent weeks for the 34-year-old, from fans and fighters alike.

In addition to Hogan’s fellow Irish boxers, there have been messages coning in for some major names in the sport.

Check out some of these messages below:

One of @dennis_h_hogan idols @HitmanHatton is on Team Hogan.
