New Beginning opponent confirmed for Fitzgerald

MGM’s Anthony Fitzgerald will trade leather with Kieron Gray in an 8-round bout on 4th July.

“The Pride of Dublin” will be back at the National Stadium for the first time since 2011 and will be looking for a win in his new Light middleweight class after holding the WBF Inter-continental Middleweight Title and the Irish Super Middleweight Title.

Former British Masters Bronze Super-middleweight title holder Kieron Gray has had 3 fights in as many weeks, winning one and losing two.

‘Fitzy’ had been hoping for a tougher test, but will be content with more time to test the water at his new weight.

Hard-hitting Ryan Burnett is up against Csaba Kovacs in another 8-round match, he will be defending his undefeated record and will be hoping to improve on his already impressive KO rate of 77.8%.

Romanian born Kovacs will be fighting for the first time in Ireland in his 13th pro fight.
