Portlaoise's TJ Doheny Back In The Ring For WBA Featherweight Battle Tonight

It's one of the most highly anticipated all-Irish bouts in recent memory.

Portlaoise's TJ Doheny returns to the ring tonight in one of the most highly anticipated all-Irish bouts in recent memory. 

He faces Antrim's Mick Conlon in Belfast for the vacant WBA Featherweight title. 

There's been war of words at their pre-fight press conference. Conlon challenged Doheny to withdraw if he feels strongly about the change in format from 10 rounds at 126 pounds to 12 rounds at 124 pounds.

The winner of tonight's encounter is likely to be back in the ring next month, fighting for the WBO and WBC Super-Bantamweight titles.
