Emmet Brennan vs Kevin Cronin DONE for the 3Arena
Dublin and Kerry will renew rivalries in the 3Arena on September 20.
Irish-boxing.com understands a mouthwatering clash between Emmet Brennan and Kevin Cronin is DONE.
The pair have agreed to trade leather on the undercard of the proposed Callum Walsh topped 360 Promotions bill, which should be confirmed for Dublin next week.
Word on the street suggests an Irish title will be on the line when the pair meet after the BUI paved the way for the strap to put up for grabs.
Regardless it’s an eagerly anticipated match-up and another exciting fight in and around the super middleweight division.
It was assumed when Cronin shared the same Colan Boxing Liverpool card with Jamie Morrissey last month, that the trilogy was in the pipeline. However, the Michael-managed ‘Kingdom Warrior’ looks to be on a Brennan collision course and a third Morrissey installment will have to wait.
The bout will be Olympian Brennan’s fourth as a pro. He too fought Limerick’s Morrissey, beating the Treaty County man on the undercard of Katie Taylor – Chantelle Cameron II to claim the BUI Celtic title at light heavy.
The well-supported fighters both faced American opposition last time out, Cronin stopping Patrick Pierre in Boston and Inner City Dub Brennan out pointing tricky step up Devaun Lee in New York.
Walsh was due to fight Craig O’Brien on the bill but ‘The Iron’ will contest against different Irish opposition on the UFC Fight Pass card.
