Irish – Canadian middleweight Matt O’Brien is hoping to upstage local hero Andy Lee when he has his first professional outing in Limerick on Saturday’s Yanjing Fight Night at the University Sports Arena. Lee’s clash with reigning French and European Union Champion Affif Belghecham headlines the event with O’Brien featuring on the undercard. While Irish fight fans are familiar with current Irish middleweight stars such as Andy Lee, Matthew Macklin, John Duddy and Jim Rock the name Matt O’Brien may not be as instantly recognisable but he believes all that is about to change.
O’Brien boasts an impressive resume of 17 wins from his 18 professional contest and on Saturday night he will aim to add to that record against Cameroon’s Jean Rodrigue Kamdoum in a bout that will be shown live on Canadian network, Super Channel (from 5.30pm ET in Canada). Read More
