P2p Boxing Competition At Belfast, Northern Ireland
Saturday, April 14th – from 21:00 GMT
The Boxing Union of Ireland confirmed that Fury has the right to box for the title after proving his Irish ancestry, settling a dispute that saw the fighter denied the opportunity to box for Ireland at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Fury said : “When I knock out Rogan and get that Irish title around my waist it will be like me winning the gold medal at the Olympics. To win the title in the year of London 2012 will be very special,”
“I always knew I was Irish and now everybody knows that those who prevented me from boxing for Ireland at the Olympics in Beijing denied Ireland an Olympic heavyweight gold medalist.
“It hurt me deeply not being able to fight for Ireland at the Olympics and to win this Irish title will be just fantastic. I don’t care about Wladimir or Vitali Klitschko, those guys can wait because winning the Irish heavyweight championship in Belfast means everything to me.”
Fury’s promoter Mick Hennessy expects his fighter to make history in the coming months, he said : “Tyson has already won the English, British and Commonwealth titles. He now wants to add the Irish and European belts to his collection on route to winning a genuine world title. In doing this he will become the first ever boxer to do so.
