April return for Spike

24 February 2010 – By Cormac Campbell

Irish middleweight champion Gary Spike OSullivan will return to action in April on a Frank Warren promoted card.

Speaking to irish-boxing.com OSullivans manager Paschal Collins said that the Cork native will begin pushing towards major titles in the upcoming 12 months.

We are just waiting on a date from Frank Warren in April, he said.

It will be his first fight under the Warren banner.

Collins added that his charge, who was nominated in the Prospect of the Year category at the recent Bogart Menswear National Boxing Awards will also return to his natural weight of light-middleweight by the end of 2010.

Spike will probably have a defence of his Irish middleweight title in the next six months before dropping back down to light-middleweight where he is more effective.
