Darren Cruise gets title chance

Boxing
Castlerea’s Darren Cruise will take on Mullingar man JJ McDonagh for the Irish Super Middleweight on Saturday April 9th in London.

26 year old Cruise, who is Roscommon’s only Professional Boxer, has been waiting for an Irish title shot for two years, while McDonagh hasn’t boxed since last May. The two men previously fought in the All Irish Prizefighter with the Westmeath man coming out on top. The fight is likely to be held at York Hall, where Cruise fought Tom Baker last July. Darren Cruise has a record of 6 wins and 4 defeats while JJ McDonagh has fought just 7 professional fights, losing once.
