âWe are looking at going again in Dublin in April. We canât confirm anything just yet but we are confident it will happen,â promoter Chris Graham explained.
âIt is new camp but Emerald Promotions are here for the boys and we will back them all the way. We know they have the talent the Irish boxing gems are all here at Emerald.â
Graham a former professional boxer, who trained in the Bernard Ingle gym also revealed Joe Hillerby looks set to be confirmed in the all Irish Prizefighter.
âJoe is in Prizefighter. We have talked with Eddie Hearn and we are just waiting for the contract to come now. Joe is flying at the minute and has a lot going for him. We are also looking at Celtic titles for him.â
